Actions
Link
Text that opens a URL, or a page of a router.
ui.Link creates a text that opens a URL in the browser, or the app
registered for its scheme, when clicked, or with Enter while it has the
keyboard focus; Space scrolls the container around it, as in a web page.
It shows in the accent color, underlined while the pointer is over it, by a
line kept whole through descenders and slashes, where other underlines skip
their ink on macOS:
ui.Link(c, "Privacy policy", "https://example.com/privacy")Paths in a router
In a page of a router, a path without a scheme, as
/notes/42, edit or ?tab=info, goes there in the router, as Push
does, relative to the page shown as links in a web page are:
ui.Link(c, "Next note", fmt.Sprint(id+1))Within a sentence
Inside a rich text, a link is part of the paragraph, wrapping with it; Tab reaches it all the same:
ui.RichText(c).Children(func() {
ui.Text(c, "Read ")
ui.Link(c, "the guide", "https://example.com/guide")
ui.Text(c, " to get started.")
})Give it an empty label and Children to style parts of its text.
Other actions
A link that does something in the app rather than opening a URL is a text
that is clicked: give Link an empty URL and ask Clicked, or use a
button.
if ui.Link(c, "Show details", "").Clicked() {
app.details = true
}Accessibility
Assistive technology sees a link named by its text, which it follows as a click does.
