".creating a custom component and repeating that" yes, yes, yes. Pass in the entire currentItem and store it in a public variable, and then you will be able to code the repeated item cleanly and clearly. I'd suggest having the component dispatch an event on click, then listen for that in the repeater's parent. Use event.target.itemData(or whatever you named the public var) to get the text of the link and then build the full argument to navigateToeURL.
