Link

Links are key elements for navigation. They should only be used for this purpose, and not to trigger specific actions. For the latter case, use a button instead. Different colors from our design system can be used to highlight different categories of links.
To improve accessibility, we recommend to always use underscoring so that links can easily be spotted by users.
