Yes, Webflow can replicate the offset highlight effect shown in the screenshot without relying on link styling. Here's how you can achieve this effect using Webflow's built-in features:

  1. Create a container element: Add a div block to your page and give it a class name like "highlight-container".

  2. Set the position property: Go to the Styles panel and set the position property of the highlight-container div block to "relative". This will allow us to position the highlight div inside it.

  3. Add the highlight div: Inside the highlight-container div, add another div block and give it a class name like "highlight". This will be the element that will create the offset effect.

  4. Style the highlight div: Set the position property of the highlight div to "absolute". This will allow us to position the highlight relative to its parent div. You can then adjust the width, height, background color, and border-radius of the highlight div to achieve the desired look.

  5. Position the highlight div: To create the offset effect, you will need to position the highlight div using the CSS properties top, right, bottom, and left. For example, if you want the highlight to be offset by 5 pixels from the top and left edges of the container, you can set the top property to "5px" and the left property to "5px".

  6. Fine-tune the effect: Play around with the position and style properties of the highlight div until you achieve the desired offset highlight effect. You can also add animations or transitions to make the effect more dynamic.

By following these steps, you can replicate the offset highlight effect shown in the screenshot without relying on link styling. Webflow's powerful CSS capabilities allow you to create custom effects and styles to enhance your website's design.
