Hello, I want open a web site on ignition perspective with a python script with a **button action**. I don’t want use a **link component** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/6/c6cf204bc9385167eda41b8c88900e32832497cc.png) ---

I think you can just use `system.perspective.navigate(url="https://www.google.com")` - does this work? ---

For future reference: The script console in the designer is a _ **terrible** _ way to test code for Perspective action scripts–it is the wrong scope. It can be suitable for testing _ **Vision** _ code, as the scope is closely related. ---

Or the `navigation` thingie that seems to be built for exactly that: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/0/10954d16d79dd24cf1f6e28989fee146b75deaf4.png) ---

Based on what ? You could bind a custom prop to the query, then use that custom prop in the panel I showed above. ---

Use Brian’s answer. You can’t use local java operations (like BrowserLauncher) to cause actions in a Perspective session. Only Vision can do that. ---

Of course that won’t work in the script console–the script console is not a Perspective scope. Put that in a script action on a Perspective pushbutton. (Or wherever.) Let me repeat: The designer’s script console is a _ **terrible** _ tool for testing scripts for Perspective. _ **Don’t use it for Perspective.** _ ---
