What is a CTA Link?

The CTA Link is our new, streamlined call-to-action component designed to be a visually appealing way to display links with an icon. The CTA Link displays the link in a card with an arrow to click the link (the only clickable part of the component).

Note: Background colors can be applied only within One Column and Card Grid sections.
