+props:
+    UI: The UI (<code>ui-base</code>) that this page will be added to. 
+    Path: The URL to navigate to when a user selects this link
+    Icon: Which <a href="https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/">Material Designs Icon</a> to use for the page. No need to include the <code>mdi-</code> prefix.
+    Default State: <ul><li><b>Visibility</b> - Defines the default visibility of this page in hte side navigation menu.</li><li><b>Interactivity</b> - Controls whether the item is disabled/enabled in the side navigation menu.</li></ul><p>Both of these can be overridden by the user at runtime using a <code>ui-control</code> node.</p>

+
+# Config: UI Link `ui-link`
+
+If you want to link to external resources from your Dashboard, you can do so with the `ui-link` config node. This will render a link in the side navigation menu, just like your Dashboard [Pages](./ui-page.md), but will navigate directly to the URL you specify, even if out of the scope of Dashboard 2.0.
+
+## Properties
+
+<PropsTable :hide-dynamic="true"/>
+
+## Adding Links
+
+To add a link to your Dashboard, you can use the Dashboard 2.0 side panel in the Node-RED editor. Click the `+ Link` button to add a new item to the list. You can then configure the link with the relevant properties.
