Use case > Modern team site w/ site pages. On the site pages we want to put a web part that can show a simple list of links. The list of links is not static but dynamic in the sense that the source of links list can be a simple Modern List (with 2 fields > LinkTitle & LinkURL) of Items or a Modern Document Library, where both of them can be updated by a user adding a new Item (I/t Item List) or a new link (i/t Doc Library).
2 challenges
Happy to hear if there's a better alternative (other web part) that would provide a simple list of links that can be updated by adding a new link in a background source (List, Library, other …). Tx.

@Thomas Berman Hi Thomas, tx for your incredible fast response. The Highlighted Content web part is indeed delivering a better result. 1 small challenge left, in front of each link it shows a little 'web icon'. Would it be possible to hide that as well. Tx in advance.

Yeah that icon is super annoying. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a supported way to get rid of it.

@Thomas Bermanforgot to mention, the Document Library web part has also a 'See all' link which comes in handy when there are more links to show.

I'm trying to achieve something similar, with a document library of URL links, but the Highlighted Content web part - which I really want to use - downloads a URL file rather than opening the website.
I've tried the Document Library web part too, and that also downloads the URL file, unless - bizarrely - I add the Name field twice to the view (e.g. "Name:, and "Name (for use on form)"), in which case the site opens.
The Document Library itself works as advertised, but I'm wanting to use the Highlighted Content Web Part, along with Audiences, to put a little intelligence behind our organization's ever expanding list of URLs.
Thanks,
Karl
