# Link

Makes text interactive, allowing users to navigate to other pages or perform specific actions. Supports standard URLs, custom protocols, and navigation within Shopify or app pages.

## Properties

* accessibilityLabel

  string

  A label that describes the purpose or contents of the Link. It will be read to users using assistive technologies such as screen readers.

  Use this when using only an icon or the content of the link is not enough context for users using assistive technologies.

* command

  '--auto' | '--show' | '--hide' | '--toggle' | '--copy'

  Default: '--auto'

  Sets the action the `commandFor` should take when this clickable is activated.

  See the documentation of particular components for the actions they support.

  * `--auto`: a default action for the target component.
  * `--show`: shows the target component.
  * `--hide`: hides the target component.
  * `--toggle`: toggles the target component.
  * `--copy`: copies the target ClipboardItem.

* commandFor

  string

  ID of a component that should respond to activations (e.g. clicks) on this component.

  See `command` for how to control the behavior of the target.

* href

  string

  The URL to link to.

  * If set, it will navigate to the location specified by `href` after executing the `click` event.
  * If a `commandFor` is set, the `command` will be executed instead of the navigation.

* id

  string

  A unique identifier for the element.

* interestFor

  string

  ID of a component that should respond to interest (e.g. hover and focus) on this component.

* lang

  string

  Indicate the text language. Useful when the text is in a different language than the rest of the page. It will allow assistive technologies such as screen readers to invoke the correct pronunciation. [Reference of values](https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry) ("subtag" label)

* target

  'auto' | '\_blank'

  Default: 'auto'

  Specifies where to display the linked URL.

* tone

  'auto' | 'neutral'

  Default: 'auto'

  Sets the tone of the Link, based on the intention of the information being conveyed.

## Events

* click

  ((event: CallbackEventListener\<typeof tagName>) => void) | null

  Callback when the link is activated. This will be called before navigating to the location specified by `href`.

### CallbackEventListener

```ts
(EventListener & {
    (event: CallbackEvent<TTagName, TEvent>): void;
}) | null
```

### CallbackEvent

```ts
TEvent & {
    currentTarget: HTMLElementTagNameMap[TTagName];
}
```

### Examples

* #### Code

  ##### Default

  ```html
  <s-link href="https://www.shopify.com/ca/legal/privacy">Privacy policy</s-link>
  ```

## Best Practices

* Use links primarily for navigation and use buttons primarily for actions.

* The HTML that renders for the `s-button` and `s-link` components includes style and accessibility information. Use these components intentionally and consistently to provide a more inclusive experience for assistive technology users and a more cohesive visual experience for sighted users.
