Available under the 'Basic' category, the **`Link`** element is [text editable](/app-editor/page-editor/editing-text.md) and creates a clickable hyperlink.
***
## Options
The [Options tab](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#options-tab) settings for this element are described below:
### `HRef`
Sets the destination URL for the hyperlink. The URL can be external to other websites or internal to other pages of your app.
{% hint style="info" %}
Using [Page Flow](/app-editor/page-flow.md), you can define custom actions instead of just navigating to the URL.
{% endhint %}
### `Target`
Choose whether you want to open the URL in a new tab/page or in the same page.
### `Link Action`
This is an advanced parameter that translates to the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/getting-started/introduction/) **`data-toggle`** attribute. The [Popup Menu Style1](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style1.md), [Popup Menu Style2](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style2.md) and [Menubar Popup Menu](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu.md) elements use this by setting the value to ***`dropdown`***. You can also use this to control a [Collapsible Area](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/collapsible-area.md) element by setting the value to ***`collapse`***.
### `Action Target`
This is an advanced parameter that translates to the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/getting-started/introduction/) **`data-target`** attribute. The value is set to the Element ID of the element to be controlled. To find the Element ID see [here](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#advanced-tab).
{% hint style="info" %}
The Element ID needs to be prefixed with a # character. This is also known as ID selector syntax. For more information click [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/ID_selectors).
{% endhint %}
### `Popup Menu Icon`
Enable this if you want a :arrow\_down\_small:arrow to appear next to the link to indicate that it will invoke a popup menu. The [Popup Menu Style1](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style1.md), [Popup Menu Style2](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style2.md) and [Menubar Popup Menu](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu.md) elements turn this setting on.
### `Type`
Select *Button* to turn this link into a button.
### `Button Look`
Only applies if the **`Type`** is set to *Button*. Select from a pre-defined list of background and text colors for the button look. For any other customizations see [here](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md).
### `Button Size`
Only applies if the **`Type`** is set to *Button*. Select from a pre-defined list of sizes. For any other customizations see [here](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md).
### `Dynamic Content`
{% hint style="warning" %}
NOTE: This setting only appears for Link elements inside a [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element.
{% endhint %}
When this setting is ON, it enables you to set the name of the placeholder field (see **`Field Name`** setting below) with which the value of the [**`HRef`**](#href) setting will be dynamically provided using [Page Flow](/app-editor/page-flow.md).
