Forward motion—some links lead somewhere. This React link button positions lucide-react icons right of text using shadcn/ui's minimal link variant with gap-2 spacing. Built with trailing icon placement suggesting continuation or external navigation, it creates directional inline action patterns. Perfect for "Read More" with ArrowRight in blog previews, "View Documentation" with ExternalLink in help sections, or "Continue to Checkout" with ChevronRight in shopping carts—the right-positioned icon guides users forward while maintaining subtle link styling.
