Step 1: go to my existing feature request thread

Step 2: click "like", click "i have this question too", add a comment detailing your use case in case anyone at Appian ever sees it (and adding a comment will float it back to the top of Community, which might help)

Step 3: wait long enough for this to make it off their backlog. I've been waiting 3 years so far, so....

Note: I do like the workaround that @harshjan already posted above, though it's a lot of manual work and juggling to make sure that sort of thing functions as desired, when (to me) there should just be built-in functionality that replicates how it works for buttons and a!submitLink().

Hi Raviteja, you can refer the code mentioned below.

a!localVariables(
  local!showConfirmation_bool : false(),
  {
    a!cardLayout(
      showWhen: local!showConfirmation_bool,
      contents: {
        a!richTextDisplayField(
          value: {
            a!richTextItem(
              text: "CONFIRM"
            )
          }
        )
      },
      link: {
        a!dynamicLink(saveInto: {
          a!save(
            local!showConfirmation_bool, false()
          )
        })
      }
    ),
    a!cardLayout(
      link: a!dynamicLink(
        saveInto: {
          a!save(
            local!showConfirmation_bool, true()
          )
        }
      ),
      showWhen: not(
        local!showConfirmation_bool
      ),
      contents: {
        a!richTextDisplayField(
          value: {
            a!richTextItem(
              text: "SHOW CONFIRM Window"
            )
          }
        )
      }
    )
  }
)
