if I understood the task, you need me to use this url_launcher package right ?

@Codesait please refer to the Link api guide given in the issue description. Url launching code is already present. You need to modify it to use Link widget

[shatanikmahanty]

Link(
      uri: Uri.parse('https://flatteredwithflutter.com'),
      builder: (_, followLink) {
       return ElevatedButton(
        onPressed: followLink,
        child: Text('Click me!!'),
     );
   },
);

This is an example code as to how to use link widget

I will love more description to this task as well 🙏🏽.

Just more clarity or a simple way to identify, where to make this necessary changes.

I don't think you want me to change all GestureDetector occurrences to link widget ??
