Perspective - Link
Component Palette Icon:
Description​
The Link component allows users to create a hyperlink that points to a destination such as a page, view, resource, or mount path that they can quickly navigate to. Links are easily identifiable because they typically have a different color font then the rest of the content, and an underscore when you hover over them. To configure a link, enter the URL for the destination, and the name of the link in the 'text' property.
