The OPENTOLINE function in MATLAB allows you to go to a particular line number in a MATLAB file. This function takes in the file name (along with extension) and the line number as arguments. For help on this function, type the following at the MATLAB Command Prompt:

doc opentoline

You can use this function along with HTML tags to create a hyperlink to direct the cursor to go to a particular line in your MATLAB file

For instance, if you have a file named 'test.m', then you can use the following command to go to line 5:

disp('<a href="matlab:opentoline(''test.m'',5)">go</a>')
