Improvising a button in a Google Doc workflow template

I need to have a clear call to action in an email sent by a workflow, and that call to action is to a programmatic link that changes with every email.

So as far as I can tell, I need to use the HYPERLINK() function, and that function has to be inline in the document, it canโ€™t be used in the google docโ€™s native add link window.

Assuming there isnโ€™t an IMAGE() function I can use inside the HYPERLINK() function, this would mean to improvise a button, my tools are text formatting and tables.

That should suffice but itโ€™d be really nice if I could at least change the color of the hyperlink, ideally also the text-decoration to remove the underline, otherwise Iโ€™m cornered into โ€œbuttonsโ€ that look like this:

Possible? Thoughts on alternatives?

Dear community,

I wish to relaunch this thread. We got the same need. 

Use case: use Hyperlink() function in Google Docs template for email notifcations in order to display hyperlink text instead of the link. In my example linktorow = Hyperlink("link","OPEN")

Any idea on how this could be performed ?

Cheers!
