The following tutorial demonstrates how to add a Link selector in your widget's designer. The Link selector generates hyperlinks to a website, a page from this site, a specific anchor in the text, or an e-mail address.
For more information on how to use the Link selector, see Use Link selectors in Content block widgets.
