Hello Elver Emilio Cano Cardona,
If you need to create a cell with a button you can create a GridViewCommandColumn. For more information you can check this documentation article. However, you can create a custom data cell element which can host all of your desired items. You can read this documentation article if you want to create a custom data cell.

Hi Elver Emilio Cano Cardona,
You can achieve the same approach by using GridViewCommandColumn. You need only to subscribe for the CommandCellClick event, where you can process the opening of the link. You can use the following code snippet:

// The format of the link should be http://www.telerik.com
string
link = Convert.ToString(commandCell.Value);
Process.Start(link);

Hi Elver Emilio Cano Cardona,
You can achieve that by creating a custom data cell. Notice that its value should be a string in URL format. Then you need to replace the default data cell with the custom one. You need to do that in CreateCell event:
Also, you need to set DisableHTMLRendering property of the column to false to enable the HTML-like feature. I recommend setting column's property ReadOnly to true:
Let us know if you need further assistance.

I've been using this solution with some success, but I've had some problems when applying it to hierarchical grids. In my application I have one column set up with GridLinkCellElements, but when I expand and contact the nested grids, the link-style formatting is incorrectly applied to other columns as well in a seemingly random way. Is there any way to use this solution with hierarchical grids?
