Links and Destinations

Heading, Image, Icon, and Button elements support links.

Destination Types

No Link

The element is displayed without an anchor.

Internal Page

Select a Concrete CMS page. The CMS resolves the page URL when the block is displayed.

File

Select a file from the Concrete CMS file manager.

External URL

Enter a complete external URL. External URLs are sanitized before frontend output.

Anchor

Enter the target element ID with or without the leading #.

Examples:

  • contact
  • #contact

Both forms are normalized to an anchor link.

The target ID must exist on the page for the link to have an effect.

Open in a New Window

Links may optionally open in a new browsing context.

When enabled, the frontend adds:

  • target="_blank"
  • rel="noopener noreferrer"

Use new-window behavior selectively. Internal navigation usually provides a better user experience in the same window.

Link Behavior by Element

  • Heading: the heading text becomes linked
  • Image: the image becomes linked
  • Icon: the icon becomes linked
  • Button: the button label and optional icon form the link
