Buttons cannot have links! Check the description of button layout for allowed configurations. Also for links use a link field or other components that have links attribute like richtextdisplayfield(), cardlayout(), etc.

I highly recommend you to complete Appian Training paths in Appian Academy to better understand the basics of Appian design objects and SAIL components!

You cannot directly add a link to a standard a!buttonWidget(). However, you can use a!cardLayout() as a clickable button alternative by configuring its link property with a!safeLink().

This approach allows you to create interactive elements that navigate to external URLs

Buttons do not support links.

As per the Appian UX guidelines, use buttons for taking action, and links for navigation.
