How about put it in your callback for you button?

%Call back button function
webpage('http://www.yahoo.com') %MATLAB Browser
%or
dos('explorer http://www.yahoo.com'); %Explorer

I have a text box including additional information about the product and the developers, in which I need to add a couple hyperlinks. I use label as text box, and to the best of my knowledge, "label objects do not have callback properties". So, how can I add code in callback function?

[Kevin Chng]

Use button instead. Are you using App Designer?

I tried this on app designer:

Undefined function 'webpage' for input arguments of type 'char'.

The correct function name is web but if you're using MATLAB R2021a or later, see the solution in my answer that does not rely on developing a uibutton.

For Matlab R2021a or later, use the uihyperlink function or the UI hyperlink component in App Designer or a uifigure to add and configure a clickable link ( release notes ).

The hyperlink can be assigned to a figure, panel object, tab object, ButtonGroup, or GridLayout object when created in a uifigure.

See configurable properties.
