To link the information from a file download field to a text link element in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

In the Webflow Designer, go to the Style Panel and select the Form Block where you want to add the file upload field.
Drag and drop a File Upload field from the Add Form Field section onto the form block.

Double-click on the file upload field to open the settings.
In the settings panel, click on the Upload Settings tab.
Set the Accepted file types to determine which file types are allowed for upload.
Enable the Store uploaded files in Webflow option if you want to store the files in Webflow's file manager.

Drag and drop a Text Link element from the Add panel onto your page, or you can use an existing text element.
Double-click the Text Link to open its settings.
In the settings panel, under the Link Settings section, click on the dropdown menu next to Link and select External URL.

In the URL field, you will need to use Webflow's dynamic binding to link the Text Link to the uploaded file.
Click on the dynamic binding icon (looks like a curly bracket) next to the URL field.
In the dynamic binding panel, select the Form tab.
Expand the File Upload section to access the Uploaded Files field.
Select the file you want to link to, and it will automatically populate the URL field.

Customize the appearance of the Text Link using the Typography, Background, and Spacing options in the Style Panel.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly link the information from a file download field to a text link element in Webflow.
