Link Behaviors
Link Behaviors define what happens on the website frontend when a hyperlink is clicked. In the Editor, a link behavior must be assigned to all links. Link behaviors determine the look and feel of hyperlinks in XperienCentral, for example whether the link appears in the same browser window or in a new window, the size of the window that is linked to, whether it has a navigation bar, is resizable, and so forth. By default there are two default link behaviors. You can also create your own link behaviors and use them for hyperlinks.
In GX WebManager 9, "link behaviors" were referred to as "link models". While the name has been changed in many parts of XperienCentral, you will still come across this old term in some interfaces, classes and stylesheets. In XperienCentral, "link behaviors" and "link models" refer to the exact same functionality.
