Hi there everyone!

Is it possible to set a text as a link and find a way to keep the outline in a different colour?  
When not being a link it’s possible to set an outline.  
But when using the text as a link you only have few options to style the text link/hover. There’s not an outline option.  
I tried working around and created a second same text with only the outline in the colour I want to put on top but then in preview I can’t click on that link text anymore because the outline text without the link is on top.  
Anyone an idea?

Sorry I don’t really get it. I don’t know about coding.  
Where can I find this window DevTools?
