  Use the

  formOverrides

  property in your plugin config to add a

  link

  field to your forms. This will allow you to insert links into any of your forms that scroll to the other sections of your form using hash urls. These point to DOM elements on the page with a matching

  id

  attribute. Something like this:

  
  
  

  formBuilder({
    formOverrides: {
      fields: [
        {
          name: 'link',
          type: 'group',
          fields: [
            {
              name: 'label',
              type: 'text',
              required: true,
            },
            {
              name: 'url',
              type: 'text',
              required: true,
            },
          ],
        },
      ],
    },
  })

  Oh I see. Ok that being rich text, you'd probably need to add a custom leaf that can format the link element you see rendered there. Otherwise you could use your own bracket-like syntax and parse it yourself before sending your emails. Something like this

  [Download PDF]({{url}})

  (markdown inspired).
