FWIW (and just as an aside), I now recommend against using a!linkField for anything at all other than legacy reasons. a!richTextDisplayField can do everything a!linkField does, plus more, with more configurability and gracefulness.

For the OP's use case (assuming I'm understanding correctly), it would probably be bet to use an a!safeLink link to link to the report, and an a!startProcessLink link to allow access to the process model (assuming this is what's meant by "redirect to").

The button widget doesn’t submit unless you set the parameter to true. It also validates the fields of parameter validate is true.

So I think you can achieve everything you need with it instead of the submit button widget.

Or an image is the solution to use it as a link.

I did, it is kind of similar. But, doesn't look good though.

Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a way to use any of the link types for a button. I don't know your use case, but you can try to look into a!startProcess() for the saveInto.

I think it's generally best practice not to use buttons on summary screens, though (as you probably already know) you can also use a!linkField for text links to records, reports, and process models.

I want to redirect to a report/process model from a record type summary screen.

Why not just use a!buttonWidget() and define the saveInto? Or is there another reason you need to use it like a link?
