How can I add a custom attribute to a link in Webflow when the name I want to use is reserved?

To add a custom attribute to a link in Webflow when the name you want to use is reserved, you can take advantage of Webflow's built-in HTML Embed element. The HTML Embed element allows you to add custom HTML code to your project, including custom attributes.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the link element in your Webflow project where you want to add the custom attribute.

2. In the right-hand panel, click on the "Settings" tab.

3. Scroll down to the "Attributes" section, and note the reserved attribute name that you want to use, as Webflow will not allow you to directly add a reserved attribute.

4. Insert an HTML Embed element by dragging and dropping it onto your canvas or adding it within the link element using the "+" button.

5. Double-click on the HTML Embed element to open the code editor.

6. Within the code editor, you can add your custom attribute using the reserved attribute name in question. For example, if you want to add a "data-attribute" attribute, you can use the following code:

   ```html

   ```

7. Make sure to replace ".your-link-class" with the actual class or ID of your link element, and "attribute-value" with the desired value for the attribute.

8. Close the code editor, and you should see your custom attribute added to the link element in the canvas.

By utilizing the HTML Embed element and custom JavaScript code, you can add custom attributes to links in Webflow, even when the desired attribute name is reserved.

Summary:
To add a custom attribute to a link in Webflow when the name you want to use is reserved, you can follow these steps:
