Sitecore SXA redirect code functionality

Question

I would like to add class name in redirect url anchor tag. Is it possible ??

Could someone let me know how redirect url create a anchor tag and where is the code of it?

Answer 1

SXA redirects should not be used normally for any links generation. Their purpose is completely different.

When you create a this-url-should-be-redirected redirect item and configure its Redirection URL to some-another-link, when someone tries to open https://yourwebsite/this-url-should-be-redirected, browser will redirect them to https://yourwebsite/some-another-link.

Answer 2

To add a class in an anchor tag, Sitecore provides you with the OOTB option to do this. So when you click on the insert link, you can find the option to add a class name

And if you want to do some customization then you have to create your own processor and then need to register this. To know more about this, you can follow these links.
