Relation to multiple (all) collection types? Simple link element

Discord Q&A strapi-questions
1

Hi, Strapi newbie here. I want to build a simple Button/Link component, which i can add to all kind of content elements. I thought i could add a “relation” field from where all the different pages, articles, blog posts, etc. can be referenced. But it looks like i can only select one specifiv collection type, for example “articles”? How can i reference all or multiple collection types? Is there a best practice for such a link component?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Yea, you just do title and href

3

And put data by hand in there

Like:
/my-slug

I was thinking about that too. But when the url from the linked page (or for whatever reason of every page) changes, the link is broken and has to be fixed by hand, right?

But there is no proof solution

What are you doing a link or breadcrumbs

8

A normal link

9

Yea then component with title and href

10

for breadcrumbs you normally do a service like getBreadcrumb()

Hm, kinda disappointing imo. Thought that this would be some basic cms behavior

12

Well there is many side issues involved

13

Like data transfer

14

When they introduce uuids on v5 that would may be possible
