Hi, try to use a WebMarkupContainer (a Link is a WebMarkupContainer so you can add other Components to it with add):
http://wicket.apache.org/guide/guide/keepControl.html#keepControl_4 And wrap "Some Text" into a Label <a wicket:id="link"> <span wicket:id="adminstuff"/> <span wicket:id="sometext"/> </a> With this solution you can fill adminstuff / sometext with a Label. The normal component is just the Link. kind regards Tobias > Am 07.01.2015 um 13:01 schrieb Raoul Zander <r...@adclear.net>: > > Hi, > > I'd like to achieve something like this: > > Normal component: > <a href="...">Some text</a> > > Enhanced component: > <a href="..."><span class="icon-admin" title="Admin stuff"></span>Some > Text</a> > > The span would be the added component. > > The link is only an example, in the end it should be possible to 'enhance' > any kind of component.
