UI: add LinkButton by simison · Pull Request #78944 · WordPress/gutenberg

simison · 2026-06-04T12:18:14Z

What?

Resolves #77098

Adds LinkButton component to UI package, following most of the visual features of Button.
Adds guidance on when to choose Button, IconButton, Link, or LinkButton.
Supports icons via LinkButton.Icon component
Supports openInNewTab like Link

Does intentionally not support:

Semantic props relevant to "real" buttons (nativeButton, loadingAnnouncement, loading, focusableWhenDisabled, disabled and aria-pressed).

All Tones And Variants

With Icon

Open In New Tab

Link button behaves visually like Button, but accepts href and semantically behaves like Link.

Why?

In principle, we'd prefer people use Link for actual links, and Button for non-links. In practise, these expectations are blurred lines for both designers and users, and sometimes even React apps (including Gutenberg) have internal, in-app flows which require using href instead of onClick.

In the guidance added in this PR we're still encouraging people to choose Button or Link over LinkButton, and explain user expectations.

How?

Users can now use icons by using Button.Icon:

<LinkButton href="#">
    <Button.Icon icon={ <svg /> } />
    Link
</LinkButton>

~~...is that ok, or should we have LinkButton.Icon and basically re-export Button.Icon?~~

Edit: there's now LinkButton.Icon

jameskoster · 2026-06-05T14:03:23Z

Should this support openInNewTab?

jameskoster · 2026-06-05T14:05:24Z

I could potentially see this being used in the Site Editor sidebar which makes me wonder if it should support a 'selected' state, or would that be a property of a higher-level menu component?

simison · 2026-06-05T16:39:05Z

Should this support openInNewTab?

Possibly; just not sure how we should go about the icon in that case (since buttons can have icons by other methods), so I left it for a separate PR to get this in sooner as-is without the support for now.

Easy enough to add later when it is used there, rather than hypothetically ahead of time. :-)

LinkButton should be used for links that look like buttons. In that sense, selected isn't really a quality of a link, while it can be associated with a button (pressed) or a checkbox / radio menu item (checked)

Thank you for working on this!

Sorry I didn't have time to run the code or ask my questions to an agent first, but wrote down my initial thoughts 😄 Thanks for working on this!

+			className

+		const element = useRender( {


Curious, did we consider composing from the Link component, rather than building from scratch? I see there's even an unstyled variant for this kind of purpose. Not sure if that's a good idea, but good to think about the pros/cons nonetheless.

Good point, it could be a better way. And it would also avoid exposing the native target prop without the accessible new-tab affordance.

This was nice! Did this in 2fa6052

@mirka @ciampo Aight, rebased and did a bunch of changes. Take another look and lemme know what you think!

Based on Link rather than a which solves a lot, including defence styles
Now supports new tab prop, alongside with ↗ icon
Added thin LinkButtonIcon wrapper
Use new nester structure for layers
Included IconButton in guidance alongside Button
Small fixes and improvements around storybook/docs

Link defence resets border-radius to 0, this recovers it to match Button.

simison · 2026-07-02T10:50:10Z

@mirka @ciampo addressed feedback, good for another look!

I think a follow-up on improving guidance doc might be good (ref #78944 (comment), #78944 (comment)), but I think the current one feels good for v1.

simison · 2026-07-02T10:51:32Z

Oh I see Marco approved the PR; I'll merge now since no major open discussion points, and we can continue in follow-ups.

t-hamano · 2026-07-10T07:13:53Z

 			className: clsx(
 				defenseStyles.a,
 				resetStyles[ 'box-sizing' ],
-				focusStyles[ 'outset-ring--focus' ],


Removing this will cause the focus outline for the Link component to disappear, won't it?

Mhh I didn't expect this line to be removed here — @simison do you recall why it was deleted? I can the commit message being "Remove reduntant focus style; its now provided Link", but I'm not sure I follow

I think we meant to remove it from LinkButton but the edit was made in the Link file?

Like so? #80091
