# Feature: #80619 - Extend Link Generation within TypoLink

See [forge#80619](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/80619)

## Description

Generating a link to a page, email, url, email in the TYPO3 Frontend is usually handled via the
so-called `typolink` functionality. Generating links is now flexible, extensions can register
their own link-building functionality via `$GLOBALS[TYPO3_CONF_VARS][FE][typolinkBuilder][$linkType]`
in the extensions `ext_localconf.php`.

All existing functionality for TypoLink via TypoScript etc. still works as before.

## Impact

The TYPO3 Core itself handles all native link types (email, url, page, record, file, folder) via
this functionality already, and it can be overridden.

The functionality goes hand-in-hand with the LinkService registration functionality for setting
links of a specific type.
