# LinkDecoratorManualDefinition

interface

Describes a manual [link decorator](module_link_linkconfig-LinkConfig.md#member-decorators). This decorator type is represented in the link feature's [user interface](module_link_linkui.md) as a switch that the user can use to control the presence of a predefined set of attributes.

For instance, to allow the users to manually control the presence of the `target="_blank"` and `rel="noopener noreferrer"` attributes on specific links, the decorator could look as follows:

```typescript
{
	mode: 'manual',
	label: 'Open in a new tab',
	defaultValue: true,
	attributes: {
		target: '_blank',
		rel: 'noopener noreferrer'
	}
}
```
