Highlighted Content Web Part - Links

I have Quick Links web parts on a Modern SharePoint site, and would like to show the most clicked/viewed links through the Highlighted Content web part. But when I select Link as the type to display, no links are populated within the Highlighted Content webpart.

 

Am I using the Highlighted Content web part incorrectly? Or has anyone else experienced this while trying to highlight Links?

 

Thx.

    It's using the Links list content type to search for which the quick links doesn't use. Not sure where the Quick Links stores it's data but if it's in a hidden list you would have to find a way to add managed metadata to that list in order to pull quick links.

        I searched around I can't find anywhere that the data for Quick Links is stored :(. But that's why it's not working, cause links is using content type of links which quick links for sure doesn't use. Good luck :(. Post back if you find anything I'm curious myself.
