Vuepress: Allow Links in Footer

[gevera]

Feature request

What problem does this feature solve?

Right now there is no straightforward way to add a link to footer via frontmatter or in config.js
A workaround will be a custom component.
However, it is a common thing and it is used often. I believe that lot's of people will find this feature useful.

What does the proposed API look like?

N/A

How should this be implemented in your opinion?

In config.js
using regular html
footer: 'Link to external page'
or markdown
footer: 'Link to external page'

In YAML frontmatter
footer: Link to external [page]
footerLink: https://www.somepage.com

Are you willing to work on this yourself?**

I am not sure how to do that

Related: allow links in the "features" elements on the home page. Would be nice to have them in both the title and the details. The benefit is that a user could click on a feature and go straight to the docs that describe the feature.

I've got response in my website from a user : - "For some reason links under the button are not working". So I totally agree with @ccleve that it's nice to have both features.

Maybe we should open up a way for user to custom the footer via a Vue component.

Hey, I also need this feature, i asked for help in the vue forum but I still could not get it to work.

And now we have markdown slots, which may solve your problem.

Since we have supported Theme Inheritance, you can create a custom theme to extend the default theme to get it.
