Link element

A link element stores a link to a web content item, or to external content such as a web page.

Most web pages contain links, either to other web pages, or to files. In a web content 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, we can store a link to the "home" content item in a link element. We then add a reference to the link element in every presentation template used by the site to enable users to return to the "home" content item. To change your "home" content, you only need to change the selected item in the link element.

To create a link element, we can either add a link element to an authoring template, site area or content item, or create a link component.
