Is there a component we can use instead of a normal link?

We need to change the style of this.

It may be overkill, but we could use the <Button /> component. It looks like if you pass it a href it will output it as an <a> element. The Preview link in the page editor uses the <PostPreviewButton /> which wraps the wp components <Button /> which outputs an <a> element if it has an href.

So, I think directly using an <a> is fine. If we want to style it (and the <Button /> has a default that works for us, add tooltips, aria elements, and state, etc, then the <Button /> component could be a good option.

a11y-wise it's best not to open links in a new tab without warning:

It is recommended that when links are opened to a new window, there is advance warning.

Using the <Button /> element doesn't look like it automatically handles adding a visually-hidden warning if you pass an href and a target="_blank", but there may be another component that does. I'm looking.
