Add Layer Description to 'Text to Dislpay' of a Hyperlink...

I'm not even sure if this is possible, let alone, where to start...

I'm trying to add a Hyperlink to a block using the 'Layer Description' as the 'Text to Display' portion of the Hyperlink. Ultimately, I'd like to have this done once I add the block to a specific layer using LISP

Example:

Inserted block (Casework) would be placed on layer 'CW-18-BC B3' and the hyperlink 'Text to Display' would retrieve the layer description for layer 'CW-18-BC B3', which is 'Casework: 18in - Base Cabinet - (11in & 18in)'

As always, anyone with an idea to help lead me into the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Why dont you just make the block on that layer and insert the hyperlink in the block file, that way when you insert the edited block into a your dwawings it will be the same every time. This is what I would do.

Thanks for the reply 2001jonathan, the underlying reason for my question is to get the layer description when hovering over the inserted block. The layer description has pertinent information for setting up my blocks (see image).

I received a reply and it works works great if a hyperlink doesn't exist...

looking to have it keep hyperlink and edit only the 'text to display'

Correction: I received the routine by ronjonp of theswamp.org and it works flawlessly
