Link

The Link UI element is the basis for UI elements of a hypertext link type. The classes LinkToAction and LinkToURL inherit all the properties of this UI element.The UI element consists of a text and a graphic.

Note

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check if the property text has not been set.

A tooltip does not necessarily have to be set for this UI element, but it could make sense to set it if it contains detailed semantic information.
