I'm just wondering if there is a way to extend the related links data type to include a class value for each link. We are using them for a set of quick links, and would like to be able to attach a predefined class name to each link, such as 'emailLink', 'phoneLink' so we can style them correctly on the front end.
A coworker of mine created a new property editor based on related links (his version allowed for a suffix to be appended to URL's). His version was modified based on this version (in Umbraco 7.1.0):
I was thinking of open sourcing it, but I'd rather some major changes be made to the core version of the related links property editor (and similar property editors), so I created these issues instead:
As an example, here's how I typically configure an Archetype for links I used in a site:
It's a heck of a lot easier than creating a custom property editor. For your example, you could have something like this, but instead of "Link Suffix", you could have a dropdown for "Link Type".
Thanks, I will try to use Archetype for my case and I agree with your suggestions to the core functionlity of these property editors, I hope they are approved and incorporated.
Extending related links data type
Hi Guys,

However, when I need some custom functionality that slightly modifies core functionality, I have now been using Archetype (it's much faster for simple composite data types): https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/archetype/
