---------------------------------------
Assignee: Martin Grigorov
> Please provide a LabelLink or something similar
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-3338
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3338
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 1.5-M3
> Reporter: Willis Blackburn
> Assignee: Martin Grigorov
>
> This pattern occurs so frequently that Wicket should support it directly:
> Link myLink = new Link("myLink") { ... }
> myLink.add(new Label("my Label", "A Link"));
> add(myLink);
> becomes:
> LabelLink myLink = new LabelLink("myLink", "A Link");
> Obviously the second parameter could be a string or an iModel<?> that would
> be converted to a string.
> I see that there have been some discussions about this before; unfortunately
> apparently the thread has been deleted. But whatever arguments there are
> against LabelLink are IMHO defeated by the fact that ExternalLink *does* have
> a label model! So why are labels okay for external links but not for
> internal links?
> I actually think that ExternalLink should have its label removed; there are
> many cases in which external links do not have labels, and this would save
> several bytes per label. But there should be a LabelExternalLink as well.
