# LinkAddition

The addition object for defining links in text components that don’t use HTML or Markdown formatting.

```
object LinkAddition
```

## Discussion

Use a `Link` addition to add a link in a text component. You can link to an anchor in the same document, to another document in News, or to an external site.

### Example

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "role": "body",
      "text": "This is an example of a link addition",
      "additions": [
        {
          "type": "link",
          "URL": "http://www.apple.com",
          "rangeStart": 0,
          "rangeLength": 20
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```
