Entity Link Display

This module adds a field formatter that displays a clickable link to the current entity's page. It's useful for adding "view" or "read more" links to content displays, reports, and listings without custom code.

Entity Link Display provides a simple, reusable field formatter that renders a link to the current entity’s canonical URL. This allows site builders to add direct "view" links for content entities (nodes, users, taxonomy terms, etc.) directly in display modes, view modes, or Layout Builder without writing any custom code or overriding templates.

It’s particularly useful when building admin dashboards, reports, or content listings where a quick link to the full entity page is needed.
Unlike traditional approaches where you might need to override templates or write custom Twig for teasers, view modes, or Layout Builder displays, this module works out of the box — just like the "Link to content" field in Views.

Requirements
------------
This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core.

Installation
------------
* Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. Visit
