How to add hyperlinks into Word docx using open XML?

Question

I am having a trouble adding hyperlinks to my word document. I don't know how to do it. I would like to make a link in a word document from my C# code using open xml. Is ther a different solution using only href or sth similar? There is a HyperLink class on the net from Open XML but how to use it?

Try this

using (WordprocessingDocument doc = WordprocessingDocument.Open("", true))
{
    doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.AppendChild(
        new Paragraph(
            new Hyperlink(new Run(new Text("Click here")))
            {
                 Anchor = "Description",
                 DocLocation = "location",
             }
        )
    );

    doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Save();

}
