I am trying to build a timeline in Tableau Public. I tried creating an Action for each tick mark/item on the timeeline that would allow each one to open to a website to learn more. However, despite trying multiple ways, the links don't wok and instead open all links at one after clicking on the first one o don't work at all. I've tried changing the selection process from Hover to Select to Menu. Nothing is working. Can anyone advise?

I don't see an attachment, but I downloaded your workbook and looked at it, then updated the first sheet so that the link works.
This is what I changed:
1. Changed the Link field on Marks from Attribute to Dimension, and from Tooltip to Detail, as in the screenshot below.
2. Added a URL action (from the menu Worksheet --> Actions), as below.
This tells it do display a menu item "Go to web page" in the tooltip, and that will open the correct link:
I also added a dashboard in which a similar action executes on clicking each dot, and opens the web page within the dashboard in a Web Page object. You should be able to figure that one out for yourself.
The workbook is attached.
