@storybook/addon-links simplifies navigation and interaction within your Storybook environment by enabling story linking. Version 8.4.0 refines this functionality, building upon the foundation of its predecessor, 8.3.7. The core purpose remains the same: streamlining the creation of demos and prototypes through interconnected UI components. Both versions depend on crucial utilities like ts-dedent for template literal manipulation, @storybook/csf for Component Story Format support, and @storybook/global for accessing Storybook's global utilities. Crucially, ensure your project fulfills the peer dependency requirements with compatible versions of react (ranging from 16.8.0 to the latest 19.0.0 beta) and storybook (specifically version 8.4.0 for the new version and 8.3.7 in the previous one to avoid compatibility issues). Developers utilizing TypeScript will appreciate the continued support via the typescript dev dependency. Key differences from 8.3.7 include the updated supported Storybook version and minor dist properties changes. For developers this means that they must update Storybook in order to update to the latest version of addon-links. The removal of fs-extra between versions of the packages also indicates a potential refactor of the codebase and/or build process.
