Custom Path in RadzenLink

Radzen.Blazor Components
1

Hello Radzen Team,

Right now, I am developing some internal applications for my company, and we use some browser extensions that require the use of custom links. These links work perfectly when using a tag, however when trying to use the RadzenLink it shows an error:

<div class="rz-p-12 rz-text-align-center">
    <RadzenLink Path="localexplorer:\\test\test" Text="Go to Buttons page" />
</div>

Could you please advise how to utilize your components in such situation?

The RadzenLink component uses the NavLink under the hood. The latter relies on the NavigationManager which doesn't seem to support custom urls (evident from the stacktrace). In short you can't directly use RadzenLink. What you can do instead is use a regular <a>. To make it look as RadzenLink set its class attribute to rz-link.

Thank you very much for the quick response!

This helps a lot!
