A way to query glossary references separately to web links

[gerob311]

It's great that there's an example on how to style the links generated by this package.

#show link: set text(fill: blue)

However, I'd like to be able to style links to the glossary, differently to URLs. Do glossary links have a label on them that can be used to create a more specific show command? Something like

#show link.where(label: <a>): it => smallcaps(it)

Where <a> is a label attached to every glossary reference.

Glossary links are just that, links to a label. I don't think it's possible to style links based on the destination, as it is a label. Text cannot be accessed on a label. A convoluted workaround would be to query the glossary heading, and check it against the location of the label. If the label is in the glossary, then style it.
If you manage to write it, it would be great! Otherwise I'll take a look at this another time 👍
If you struggle, tag me or if I take too long don't hesitate to write this question and your thoughts on the forum https://forum.typst.app/ in the Questions category, with tag glossarium. Someone might take a stab at it, it doesn't sound too complicated.
EDIT: the links have a label but not confident querying this label would help

I think I don't know Typst well enough yet to know how to do what you have suggested. However, I now realise this is a problem that isn't just concerned with this library. For example, I want to make sure that the style I've applied to my web links doesn't get applied to the glossary references.

I've managed to put together a bit of a hacky approach though.

	show link: it => {
		if type(it.dest) == "string" {
			text(it, fill: blue)
		} else {
			it
		}
	}

	show ref: it => {
		let head = heading
		let el = it.element
		if el != none and el.func() == heading {
			text(fill: red)[#link(el.location())[#it: #el.body]]
		} else if el != none and el.func() == figure {
			smallcaps(it)
		} else {
			it
		}
	}

This ensures that only my web links are blue (assuming that their targets will always be strings, and string targets are always web links), and that the glossary links are different to the heading links. It does rely on the fact that the glossary items are figures though, and so I wouldn't be able to have a different style for links to actual figures in the document.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve this approach, I'd appreciate it. I'm still pretty new to Typst.
