Placing a rich text element inside webflow native tab links

At a glance

The community member is looking for a way to place a rich text element inside Webflow's native tab links (Layout 497), as they cannot place links within links. Another community member suggests bypassing the Webflow native tabs altogether and building custom tabs, providing a cloneable example that could be modified to achieve the desired functionality. The community member expresses gratitude and plans to check out the suggested solution.

Hey all,
I need to place a rich text element inside of my Webflow native tab links (Layout 497). I get that you can’t place links within links, but is there any way I can hack my way around this, that someone has figured out in the past?

you would have to bypass the webflow native tabs altogether and build your own. I found this cloneable that gets you about 90% there, and you could modify it to convert the link wrapper to a div and nest a richtext field into it. Keep in mind that there is a div that is overlaying all of this - you'll want to turn "events none" on in order to click on the canvas to make edits and then turn it back on so that there is a cursor for the user.

You will obviously also need to change the layout as well.
