Using Sitecore link Manager in scriban script

Question

I have a general link that is linking to an item in Sitecore.
Path to linked item --> /sitecore/content/home/pageItemWithLayout

I am using the below scriban script below to render the item link.

<a href = "{{i_item.Link.Target}}"  target="_blank">Some item Link </a>      
                                                                                                 

and HTML is rendered

<a href="/sitecore/content/home/pageItemWithLayout" target="_blank">Some item Link </a>

is there a way to access a friendly URL for this Sitecore item in scriban similar to how we can use Sitecore LinkManager Sitecore.Links.LinkManager.GetItemUrl(itempath) to get the friendly url?

The output required after scriban render is

<a href="/pageItemWithLayout" target="_blank">Some item Link </a>

This item could also be present in a microsite as well.

Answer 1

You can use field renderer like:

{{ sc_field i_item 'Link' [['target', '_blank']] }}

Answer 2

You can use the field render option as Marek described and you can also use sc_link as described here: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/sxa/102/sitecore-experience-accelerator/the-embedded-functions-for-the-scriban-template.html

Your code would be:

<a href = "{{sc_link i_item.Link.Target}}"  target="_blank">Some item Link </a>
