BLINK

BLINK is an abbreviation of Button LINK

BLINK will output a button on the page that links to another Object ID.

This is similar to the {LINK()} command, however this command adds the following Bootstrap classes to the link to make it display like a button.

btn
btn-sm
btn-light

Number	Name	Default	Type	Description
1	obj_id	0	Integer	ID of object to link to
2	text	Link	String	Text to be displayed on the link
3	param		String	Any parameters you want to pass to the page e.g. "A=1&B=2" Entering the ID of an HTML form will cause the form values to be submitted as parameters. e.g. "#myform" - follow this with a ? and any additional parameters e.g. #myform?A=1
4	bookmark		String	Adds a bookmark to the URL. A bookmark is a reference on the page so that the readers can jump to specific parts of a web page. It is defined on the page by using the ID reference, e.g. <DIV id="bookmark_link">. To use this you don't need to specify the # which you would use if you were writing this in a regular HREF link.
-	class		String	Set the classes on the link. e.g. btn btn-primary
-	confirm		String	Ask a question before the link is executed.
-	dialog_o	{}	String	A JSON string of Dialog Options. e.g. "{oText:'Done'}"

-	dialog_y	500	Integer	The height to display the dialog box. Only used with a `target` of DIALOG.
-	friendly_name	true	Boolean	This can hold the values true, false. Use false if this is a link for internal use and you do not need the system to look on the destination object for the friendly name. This will save processing time.
