A bar item link is a visual representation of a bar item (BarButtonItem) that is displayed in the Ribbon UI, toolbars, and menus. The bar button item can have multiple links (see the image below). The bar item’s settings specify the default behavior and appearance of its links. The BarButtonItemLink class contains settings that allow you to customize a certain link.
