Modern Communication sites - display links issue
Hi - I made a custom list to contain links, including a 'category' choice field
And then displayed it on a modern page using the "List (preview)" web part:
The links are clickable in this web part and open the target page as expected
Thanks

Why arent you using QuickLinks?
Steven Collier , MattVarney , I'm facing an issue where if I put a modern page link in QuickLinks web part, it would save and show up as usual but would disappear once I refresh the page. The same would happen even if I put it as a hyperlink using Text web part. This doesn't happen with other classic view pages. See attachment. Any suggestions?
We require item level permissions on the links, so we wanted to manage them in a managed list. That does not seem possible using the modern quick links (which looks like just on-page content rather than true managed content).
Also, we will have HUNDREDS of links to manage and doing that on page is not optimal.
Well, it's perhaps stating what's obvious, but the webparts clearly don't have the code to understand that a .url file should be processed and then the client redirected, rather than downloaded. The document library code does have this.
I imagine you could develop your own, or add a request to uservoice. but it would seem like quite a niche requirement.
Maybe come up with a solution not using .url files.
