Link element
A link element stores a link to a IBM® Workplace Web Content Management™ item, or to external content such as a Web page. A link element is stored in an authoring template, site, site area, content item or link component.
Most Web pages contain links, either to other Web pages, or to files. In a Web Content Management site, most links are generated using navigator and menu elements. A link element stores a link that is not part of a site's navigation. For example, you can store a link to your "home" content item in a link element. You then add a reference to the link element in every presentation template used by your site to enable users to return to the "home" content item. If you want to change your "home" content, you only need to change the selected item in the link element.
Restriction: Link elements cannot be displayed in remote rendering portlets.
- Using a link element
