Thanks for the replies, guys!
Just wanted to follow up on this to share how I ended up doing things.
BTW: I was very new to Wicket at the time I asked the question. Now I have been digging into it a bit more.
My concern was that adding a <span> inside every <a> when I wanted to dynamically set the link text/label was unneccesary markup clutter for the browser to handle. I /do/ think it makes sense to add a Label component to a Link component in the Wicket component tree.
After looking at Wicket for a few more days I found that I could call setRenderBodyOnly( true ) on the Label, and the <span> would go away, leaving a tidier page for the browser.
I also only just recently found setStripWicketTags() to clean up the output a bit more, and now I am very happy with what the browser gets.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into developing Wicket and helping your users on this list!

Thats why we need a LabelLink where the model is the text.
We can't do that we oure current Link objects, because it could be used by something else

but where do we specify the text? i, and im sure others, use the model for other things.
Label(String, IModel, IModel) ? kinda nasty if you ask me

yeah.. i still like to have such a link inside the core (called LabelLink or something)
I still think that most beginnners always look at this and ask "Why do i need to add an extra label"
The link text, if it is pushed by the javacode" is in my eyes many times just something of that link.

link is a generic link container that can wrap anything. so no, there is no direct way to do it unless you are using ExternalLink.
you would have to do:
Link link=new Link("link")....
link.add(new Label("lbl"......
and in your markup
<a href="" wicket:id="link"><span wicket:id="lbl">my link</span></a>
if you want you are free to create a simple subclass of link that does this for you using replaceComponentTagBody(), see Label for details.

I think you can add a Label to the link and it will render... but I'm
not a wicket guru, just an interested 3rd party :)
