The Link field points anywhere: an external URL, or existing content found by searching, with the link picker WordPress uses everywhere else.
Configuration
Go to Modern Fields > Fields groups and add the Link field. Its settings are in the inspector:
| Effect | |
|---|---|
| Ask for a link text | Adds a text input for the label of the link. On by default. |
| Allow opening in a new tab | Offers the “Open in new tab” option. On by default. |
Display the link
The field stores the URL, the link text and the new tab choice. modern_fields_get_link() turns the value of get_field() into a ready-to-use link, with its url, title and target. It returns null when there is nothing to link to.
PHP
Without code, the Field value block displays the field as a Button block carrying the destination, the label and the target.
