# Menubar Item Link

The **`Menubar Item Link`** element is similar to the [Link](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/link) element, but is used inside [Menubar Item](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-item) elements.

It's important to note that the **`Menubar Item Link`** element cannot be directly accessed in the [Page Element Library](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor-tour#page-element-library) for drag-and-drop functionality. Instead, you can utilize the following pre-built elements:

* [Menu Item](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menu-item): This has a [Menubar Item Link](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-item-link) element, which can be edited and configured.
* [Menubar Popup Menu](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu): This adds a sub-menu to the menubar which can be customized.
* [Menubar Login Info](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu): This adds a widget that shows information about the current logged-in user to your app.

## Options

The [Options tab](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-element-settings#options-tab) settings for this element are described below:

### `HRef`

Sets the destination URL. The URL can be external to other websites or internal to other pages of your app. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Using [Page Flow](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow), you can define custom actions instead of 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](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style1), [Popup Menu Style2](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style2)  and [Menubar Popup Menu](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu) elements use this by setting the value to ***`dropdown`***. You can also use this to control a [Collapsible Area](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/collapsible-area) 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**](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-element-settings#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](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style1), [Popup Menu Style2](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style2)  and [Menubar Popup Menu](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu) elements turn this setting on.
