SharePoint User defined Unique ID/Name for a Web Part.
swensonic this is not possible out-of-the-box. Maybe with SPFx....

- swensonicJan 26, 2023Copper ContributorThanks for the quick response. I figured it would be SPFx but just wondered if someone could point me in the right direction of any custom SPFx solutions.

swensonic I don't have access to SPFx so you'll need to speak to ganeshsanap who has the knowledge about this.

Hi swensonic,
the correct way in this case would be to create your own Quicklinks webpart using SPFX.
There you have control over your own HTML and CSS. (The implementation of the default Quicklinks webpart might change at any time).
You then can apply different configurations to your different webpart instances.
Take a look at this project i found on github
https://github.com/clarktozer/spfx-quicklinks
That should give you a good starting point.

Hi swensonic,
or alternatively:
Create a list with a "Title" and "Url" Column (and perhaps an Icon column) and format the view to look like Quicklinks (See this sample here: https://github.com/pnp/list-formatting/tree/master/view-samples/icon-link-tiles).
Now you have full control over the resulting HTML and CSS.
Then use the List View webpart instead of the Quicklinks webparts to show different views of your list formatted by that JSON formatting.
Best Regards,
Sven
