Clicked Links disappear

Question

I have some very simple code:

Thing (link: "Look at")[(alert: [This is some text], "Sure.")]

Every time I click the link, it correctly displays the dialog, but the link itself disappears. I have been reading the Twine/Harlowe forums and I see people asking for this functionality, but for some reason I cant NOT do it.

I just want it to stay there, so I can keep clicking it as much as I like. Nothing in the Documentation says anything about it disappearing. This happens even in a brand new Story with no CSS or any other passages or variables.

How can I make it NOT go away after clicking?

Answer 1

Actually, quite simple in the end. It's NOT the link macro I should have been using. Instead I should have been using the link-rerun macro. Here is my working code:

Thing (link-rerun: "Look at")[(alert: [Its a thing], "Sure.")]
