HowTo: Use button from dashboard 2.0 to get an external Link. about node-red-dashboard HOT 3 CLOSED

So, two options here, neither are which support now, but would be easy for us to add:

1. We add a "URL" property to the button, to support this natively on the button itself.
2. We support, in ui-control, the ability to pass an external link/path to ui-control, which would navigate the user to that given link.

I think I'm favouring 2 as it's more generalised solution, doesn't over populate ui-button with options, and is consistent with a more general "node-red" user pattern, as in, some button clicks could navigate you to another page, some external, some trigger something completely different

But if the reason to not use ui_template is only that the button doesn't look like default UI_button, then it is just to apply necessary classes to it.

<template>
    <v-btn 
        href="https://www.google.com"
        target="_blank"
        elevation="0"
        class="v-btn v-btn--block v-theme--nrdb v-btn--density-default v-btn--size-default v-btn--variant-flat"
    >
    Navigate to Google
    </v-btn>    
</template>

I have a PR on it's way for this with (2) implemented fwiw :)
