Button action vs link-to

[basz]

Would it be desirable for the btn component to be able to transition to routes instead of utilizing its action?

Why? Actions are not SEO friendly. Convenience.

eg.

{{#md-btn action='link-to' actionArg='some.route' icon='fa fa-sign-in'}}go somewhere{{/md-btn}}

or

{{#md-btn linkTo='some.route' icon='fa fa-sign-in'}}go somewhere{{/md-btn}}

or possibly, which would do the action ping and then transition with a post model

{{#md-btn action='ping'  linkTo='some.route' linkToArgs='post' icon='fa fa-sign-in'}}go somewhere{{/md-btn}}

Just checking if that's doable without to much problems? Perhaps the md-btn could extend the link-to helper easely?

maybe we need a new component like {{md-btn-to}} or something? I'm a little wary of trying to make one component usable in too many ways.

What are your thoughts?

i agree, becomes complicated quickly
