When writing hyperlink cell & save the wb, cell created as simple text

Hi, When creating the workbook from scratch, creating a hyperlink text according to the docs, cell is created as a simple text.

here is the code:

/* writing feature test -- look for TEST: in comments */
    /* vim: set ts=2: */

    function Hyperlink() {
        this.target = "";
        this.display = "";
    }

    var x = new Hyperlink();
    x.target = "http://localhost:9980/HEXA3_FA/index.html#/fm/s/unassociated_failures";
    x.display = "link";

    /* original data */
    var data = [
        [1, 2, 3],
        [true, false, null, "sheetjs"],
        ["foo", "bar", new Date("2014-02-19T14:30Z"), "0.3"],
        ["baz", null, x]
    ];

    var ws_name = "SheetJS";

    var wscols = [
        { wch: 6 },
        { wch: 7 },
        { wch: 10 },
        { wch: 20 }
    ];


    console.log("Sheet Name: " + ws_name);
    console.log("Data: "); for (var i = 0; i != data.length; ++i) console.log(data[i]);
    console.log("Columns :"); for (i = 0; i != wscols.length; ++i) console.log(wscols[i]);



    /* require XLSX */
    if (typeof XLSX === "undefined") { try { XLSX = require('./'); } catch (e) { XLSX = require('../'); } }

    /* dummy workbook constructor */
    function Workbook() {
        if (!(this instanceof Workbook)) return new Workbook();
        this.SheetNames = [];
        this.Sheets = {};
    }
    var wb = new Workbook();


    /* TODO: date1904 logic */
    function datenum(v, date1904) {
        if (date1904) v += 1462;
        var epoch = Date.parse(v);
        return (epoch - new Date(Date.UTC(1899, 11, 30))) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
    }

        var ws = {};
        var range = { s: { c: 10000000, r: 10000000 }, e: { c: 0, r: 0 } };
        for (var R = 0; R != data.length; ++R) {
            for (var C = 0; C != data[R].length; ++C) {
                if (range.s.r > R) range.s.r = R;
                if (range.s.c > C) range.s.c = C;

                    cell.v = datenum(cell.v);
                }
                else if (cell.v instanceof Hyperlink) {
                    cell.l = { Target: cell.v.target, tooltip: cell.v.display },
                    cell.v = cell.v.display;

                ws[cell_ref] = cell;

        }

    /* write file */
    //XLSX.writeFile(wb, 'sheetjs.xlsx');
    var wbout = XLSX.write(wb, { bookType: "xlsx", bookSST: true, type: 'binary' });

We’ve pushed support for XLSX/XLSM/XLSB/XLML. The BIFF2 format didn’t support hyperlinks. If there is enough interest we’ll look into ODS hyperlinks.
