Anatomy of a link

There are three different link variants:

• Default: To display a simple link.
• Emphasized: For very important links that need to attract the user’s attention quickly.
• Subtle: To distinguish between more important (default) and less important (subtle) links when the app page contains a large number of links (10+). Subtle links allow you to improve the visual hierarchy in large lists and tables.

Link variants – live examples

To trigger the event or navigation, the user clicks the link.
If a link target has a specified URL, it can also be triggered via the context menu.

If the link can’t be triggered, display it in the disabled state. For example, if a content area is disabled, also show the links in this area as disabled.
