I am adding a small help section to my app including some additional information about the product and how to use it. To do so, I need to learn:
1 - How to assign a hyperlink to text so that the assigned web address is opened in a browser?
2 - How to link to a local PDF file so that it is opened in a PDF reader once the user clicks on it? Let's assume we have a help file in PDF format, in the same directory of the application.
Thanks in advance.

In order to assign a hyperlink to a component so that the assigned web address is opened in browser, we can add callback functions with the component being used in the AppDesigner in the manner shown below:
function ClickforHyperLinkButtonPushed(app, event)
%Anyone of the below commands can be used.
dos('explorer http://www.facebook.com'); % This will open the mentioned URL in new tab in Internet Explorer.
web('http://www.facebook.com'); % This will open the URL in the help browser of MATLAB.
end
This callback can be used for opening a file
function ClickForPDFButtonPushed(app, event)
dos('explorer file:/// FILE_PATH');
end

To answer the first question: I don't think anything of that sort is available in app designer.
To answer the second question: For sending email using the default email manager you can use the following callback. [For this to work you should have email manager installed on your windows machine (e.g. Outlook on Windows machine )]
email = 'myaddress@provider.ext';
url = ['mailto:',email];
web(url,'-browser')
