Tips for OneNote Hyperlinks on Mobile
To use the hyperlinks in OneNote on mobile devices, you need to be in text mode. In text mode you can tap on the hyperlink. A box is going to open asking if you want to open the link. Click on that button and it will take you to the page.
This might seem like an extra step, however on mobile devices this prevents you from accidentally clicking on a hyperlink when you are making a writing gesture.
One additional tip is when you are using an android device, you need to hit the stop button and move the stylus away from the device a few inches so the writing tools are not active.
