Please stop making core/paper elements SPWA only

[Claudius Nicolae]

Please stop making core/paper elements  only single page web app style!

For example add support to have paper-tabs with real links, not just js-api selector.

I think polymer components would work beautifully with combined with Turbolinks [1]:

a. Page gets loaded, polymer components are loaded and parsed

b. New link is clicked, loaded via Turbolinks, body replaced, polymer components in app's head are not re-parsed, they are already there from previously.

It's a shame not to support the most common patterns of how the web works (ie. via links).

Supporting anchor tags would be nice. I may be overlooking a really obvious way to do it, but I tired a few variations this morning with no success. I raised an issue on your behalf. Hope that helps!

I agree. I would love to have the paper-button support an href attribute. I currently have this custom element, which contains a hidden anchor, which I then click using javascript. Having that built-in would be great though.

Viktor — in the past I've wrapped a paper-button in an anchor, that does the trick ok and doesn't require javascript

The latest version of paper-button takes light dom:

<paper-button>

  <a href="http://www.example.com">Check me out</a>

</paper-button>

Thats ... so simple its brilliant. Thanks. I've got the anchor around the <shadow> and its great.

Eric - I noticed when you click in the button padding area the anchor doesn't fire. Do you think it would be better to style the anchor to wrap the button in an anchor?
