# How to set an anchor link to a tab item in Elementor?

## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor Tabs/Tours widget lets each tab item receive a Unique ID, such as tab-features or tab-pricing, so anchor links can jump directly to that tab’s content.
- Elementor Button widget uses the ID in the Link field with a # prefix, so #tab-features sends visitors to the matching tab item.
- The setup fits one-page websites, FAQ pages, and landing pages where buttons or links open a specific tabbed section instead of the full widget.

The Tabs/Tours widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor lets you add a unique ID to each tab item. You can use this ID to create anchor links that send visitors directly to a specific tab's content when they click a button or link on the page.

Here is an example of how to set up anchor links for a tab item:

Add the Tabs/Tours widget to the page. Open the tab you want to link to and enter an ID in the **Unique ID** field. Use a short, descriptive ID like `tab-features` or `tab-pricing`.

Use an Elementor **Button** widget to create the anchor link.

In the **Link** field of the button, enter the ID with a `#` prefix. For example, if your tab ID is `tab-features`, enter `#tab-features` in the link field. This approach works with any clickable element, not just buttons. To send visitors to a specific page section using anchor links more broadly, see [How to Scroll to a Page Section on Button Click in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/scroll-to-page-section-button-click/).

The anchor link is now created. When visitors click the button, they will go directly to that specific tab's content.
