[Feature Request]: Support for classes for LINKS in posts/pages editors

[bjazmoore]

Feature Description

It would be nice to be able to give a class to links that are added to a page or post through the Insert/Edit link dialog. This would allow some links to be styled if desired (perhaps as a button) in the post/page. Ideally it would be an extra field on the Insert/Edit link dialog:

I found I can target these links using the Link "title" attribute, so this is not a super high priority need for me.

For those who want to use CSS and the "title" attribute to target a link for styling try the following:

1. Give the link a unique title - I used "make_btn"
2. In my case the link was also an H2 element
3. Add come custom CSS

`a[title="make_btn"] {
/* Basic button styling /
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px 80px;
text-decoration: none !important;
border-radius: 40px; / Large value for pill shape */

/* Color and text styling */
background-color: royalblue;
color: white !important;
font-weight: bold;

/* Transition for smooth hover effect */
transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
}

a[title="make_btn"]:hover {
/* Lighter shade of blue on hover /
background-color: navy; / Cornflower Blue, a lighter shade */
}`

It looks like this:

There is still a problem with the approach shown above. The tooltip for the link says "make_btn" which is less than optimal.

So there is still a need to be able to add a class to style a link as a button.

Thanks

@bjazmoore - sounds like a good idea - I will add it in v.0.46.2 or in v.0.47

Hi,

Currently, you can use a small hack in the title field to speed up adding a class, but it can only be modified later through code:

my-title" class="my-class
The result is:

<a href="#" title="my-title" class="my-class">

A class field would be a great feature addition, as adding custom classes directly in the TinyMCE editor is a bit more tedious and less flexible.
