No "Link text" editability when creating a "Link" or "URL" field-type field in CMS?

[wirby]

Per https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/building-blocks/module-theme-fields#link I understand the difference between "Link" and "URL" field types (the"open in new window" and "tell search engines not to follow" options).  However, neither provide a field for editing "Link text".  It literally outputs "Link text" hardcoded into the module for both field types, meaning you either have to hardcode your link text or create a separate "Text" field.  Seems silly that the user can't edit the link text.

Hi wirby,
add a seperate text field and write your module like
...(link/url href settings)
<a href="{{href}}>{{module.link text}}</a>

Best,
Anton

@wirby you're correct, you have to add a separate link text field. I'll typically create a group called "Button" then add the link and text inside that group so it makes the editting experience a little nicer. You could post to the "Ideas" board if you want to see a text field built into the link field.
