Yes, you can create a lightbox link that pops up when clicking on a text link in Webflow. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this:

Create a Lightbox Element
First, you need to create a lightbox element to display your content.

Drag and drop a lightbox element from the Elements panel onto your canvas.
Customize the lightbox element by adding your desired content, such as images, text, or videos.

Set up a Text Link
Next, you'll need to create the text link that will trigger the lightbox.

Add a Text element to your canvas or select an existing text element.
Highlight the text that you want to turn into a link and click on the link icon in the toolbar.
In the link settings, select "Open lightbox" as the link type.
In the "Choose a Lightbox" dropdown, select the lightbox element you created in step 1.

Customize Lightbox Settings (Optional)
If you want to further customize the behavior and appearance of your lightbox, you can tweak the lightbox settings.

Select the lightbox element on your canvas.
In the settings panel, you can adjust the background color, overlay opacity, and close button style.
You can also enable other advanced options like keyboard shortcuts, scrolling, or autoplay.

Preview and Publish
Finally, make sure to preview your website to test the lightbox functionality. Click on the text link you created, and the lightbox should pop up with your content inside. If everything looks good, publish your website to make the lightbox link accessible to your site visitors.

By following these steps, you can easily create a lightbox link that pops up when clicking on a text link in Webflow. This feature allows you to display additional content without navigating away from the current page, providing a seamless and interactive user experience.
