Link Field for Javascript Functions

[gabriel1957]

I am hoping that your WordPress team can add a “trigger javascript function” option that would allow users to enter a given javascript function into the URL text field. I can add that functionality in the CODE VIEW, but I believe adding this as an option in the LINK field would be a great tool. (If such an option already exists, how do I access it?)

Thanks for your help! Best wishes, Gabriel

Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

I'll close this as 'reported-upstream' because you already opened a Gutenberg issue.

However, a button element would be more appropriate for changing content on the page.
<button onclick="changeColor()">Change to Blue</button>
