Components
Link
This component is styled to resemble a hyperlink and semantically renders an anchor or button.
Under the hood, Link is an extension of the Text component. By default it will inherit its font size from its parent unless a size is set with the fontSize prop.

Link as a button
In some cases, you may want the styling of a link but the ability to use a click handler. Passing a value for the onClick prop will cause the link to render as a button element.
