How do I get links to work in CorelDraw 2019?

I'm working on a 50-page conference booklet and I was able to get a few links to work on the Schedule pages, but none in the Presenter pages are responding.  I'm supposed to pull up the Links and Rollovers box from the Dockers menu and fill in the link info, hit Enter and it should work, but more often than not, it doesn't.  Email links tend to work, but not urls.  I understand there's a program out there that can do this, but it costs around $100 and neither I nor the charity I'm doing the work for can afford it.  Does anyone have any hacks for this issue.
