   In a non-web context, i.e. an app, any link will most likely launch the device's browser and
   effectively open a new tab outside the app context.
 </p>
+
+<h2>Custom trailing-icon</h2>
+<p>
+  If you want to use a custom icon after the link instead of the external link icon then include the Kirby SCSS @mixin <code>utils.trailing-icon</code>  
+  and the icon name of your choosing: <code>@include trailing-icon(iconName)</code>
+</p>
+<p>
+  The example below is using
+  <code>"navigation"</code>
+  as iconName. If you want to use an external svg, then you can input an URL instead of iconName.
