# ComponentLink

The component addition object for making a component interactive and opening a link to another location in News.

```
object ComponentLink
```

## Discussion

Use the `ComponentLink` object to define a link for a component by specifying the URL. Apple News ignores links that it can’t resolve to a valid entity.

You can use this object in [`Aside`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Aside), [`Chapter`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Chapter), [`Container`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Container), [`Logo`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Logo), [`Image`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Image), and [`Section`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Section).

### Example

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "role": "image",
      "URL": "bundle://image.jpg",
      "additions": [
        {
          "type": "link",
          "URL": "https://apple.news/TqT-jfrI0QXaYqGoz68HYeQ"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```
