Description

I have a form for which I need to disable all form components in certain situations.
For this I am using form.setEnabled(false), which works nicely for all input elements.

However the form also contains a number of links (next to some fields), which need to stay enabled.

In the code of the onComponentTag method of the Link class I see the isLinkEnabled method is called to check if the link should be rendered enabled/disabled.
In my Link subclass of I need to override isLinkEnabled to force the link being enabled even if the parent form is not.
