    Buttons do not support that. Following the Appian design guide, buttons are for taking action, links are for navigation. Maybe you want to reconsider that design choice.

    Yes Links will be fine. Will a!dynamic like works well in this case?

    The documentation lists all available link variants and their purpose.

    When you want to navigate to a record, a recordLink should work best.

      a!recordLink(
      label: "Employee",
      /* For the "recordType" parameter below, replace the record type reference (recordType!Employee) with a 
       * valid record type reference in your environment. 
       */
       recordType: recordType!Employee,
       identifier: "5"
    )
