Pseudo Link
This module allows you to add customizable placeholder links to specific content types and their bundles. You can define the link text, add CSS classes, and control whether the links open in a new tab, enhancing content presentation with flexible, reusable link elements across your site without custom code.
The Pseudo Link module for Drupal allows you to add customizable pseudo links to specific entities and bundles.
With this module, you can define link text, CSS classes, wrapper classes, and choose whether links open in a new tab.
It enhances content presentation by offering flexible, reusable link elements that can be applied across your site.
