There is no way to activate links using Jaws in powerpoint. The best practice is to provide the full URL, either on the slide itself or on a slike at the end of the presentation. Note: I believe it is possible to activate links in powerpoint using NVDA but I haven't test it myself.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [NUT] PowerPoints and clicking on links
Hello!
I am wondering is there a way for us JAWS users to click on links within a PowerPoin presentation?
We will be having training at work next month and one of my blind coleagues is trying to figure this out so that the material will be 508 compliant.
Apparently using a cursor router key in a braille display does not work, nor does the application key. Using the left mouse button on the numeric keypad does not seem to work either. Is there some kind of hotkey? We are using Office 2010 and Win7 machines with JAWS 13 and Focus 80 braille displays.
Regards
Daniel

Subject: [Trainer-talk] Seeking Info on Trainers to be Mentioned During my
Next Users' Group Call
Hello. I run a computer users' group, primarily (though not exclusively)
for blind computer users in the Philadelphia area. During our next
conference call, the topic will be resources to get help and computer
training.
Of course, I'm going to focus on as many free resources as I can, such
as the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk. However, I'm also interested in
mentioning the names and contact information of individuals and
organizations which are able and willing to provide remote training. I'm
not interested in companies where the user is required to be there in
person unless that company is located in Philly. However, if any of you
might be interested in being mentioned on the call I would love to have
your information. Most of my users are Windows users, the majority of
them using JAWS. Of course, we also have many iOS users using iPhones.
If you provide training particularly on JAWS and iOS products I'd love
to mention you. I'm also looking for people who are able to remotely
assist in troubleshooting, such as my computer won't open such and such
a program or I keep getting such and such errors when I try to perform
XYZ. I realize this can be a challenging set of issues to troubleshoot
remotely and, at times, providing remote assistance for such problems
may be just about impossible, particularly if the computer is barely
usable with speech.
If you'd like me to mention your services, please email me offlist with
your name, company name if you have one, contact info, what services you
provide and your rates.
Many years ago, Dean Martineau compiled such a list and the National
Braille Press put it into a directory called "One on One." I think it's
about time that we saw version 2 of that excellent resource. I think
that I still have that book but, as it was written around the year 2000
or so, much of what it contains is likely out of date.

Hi
When you arrow through the content of the slide you can open the link by holding down shift and enter at the same time.

Please disregard my prior message the command for selecting a link within a slide using Jaws is control and enter.
I apologize for the confusion.
