I'd like the option to create a page item as a link. Buttons don't provide all of the the same options as a link.

Idea Summary
We regularly use the “link” option when dealing with columns in a report, and would like the ability to apply that type to a page item as well. 

Use Case
I need to create a page item that is also a hyperlink to another page.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
The functionality seems to already exist but is not available for page items, only report columns.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that it is unlikely to make its way into APEX in the foreseeable future.

    I think you can use the button and remove the style so it look like a link, that would be an alternative.

    @gmoralesoc Hi - thanks for the suggestion - that's actually what I'm currently doing.  Unfortunately, with a button, you don't have the option to right click to open in new tab, and the button type doesn't provide the link attributes property which allows you to set to open in new tab using target="_blank".  Thanks again for the suggestion.

    Hi, you can use a dynamic action to execute this javascript  :

    window.open("https://www.google.com");

    @johhns Hi, I considered doing that but was advised against hardcoding the URL since the server info changes from time to time.  Appreciate the tip!
