It's super easy! There are 3 types of links you can add to a q-btn (or anything really, works for images, divs, you name it)...

If you want to make your app navigate...

@click="$router.replace(’/your/app/page/here’)"

If you want to open a link to a different site...

@click="window.location.href = 'https://www.example.com'"

If you want to open a link in a new tab...

@click="window.open('https://www.example.com', '_blank').focus()"
