Link
Link utilities style anchors without custom CSS: link-opacity-* fades a link, link-offset-* moves the underline, link-underline-{colour} and link-underline-opacity-* colour and fade the underline. Each has a -hover variant, and icon-link plus icon-link-hover align and animate icons beside link text.
1Link opacity
link-opacity-10 to -100 fade a coloured link.
<div class="d-grid gap-1">

</div>2Opacity on hover
link-opacity-*-hover changes the opacity only while the pointer is over the link.
<div class="d-grid gap-1">
<a href="#" class="link-primary link-opacity-25 link-opacity-100-hover">25, 100 on hover</a> <a href="#" class="link-primary link-opacity-50 link-opacity-100-hover">50, 100 on hover</a> <a href="#" class="link-primary link-opacity-100 link-opacity-50-hover">100, 50 on hover</a>
</div>3Underline offset
link-offset-1, -2 and -3 move the underline away from the text.
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap gap-4">
<a href="#" class="link-offset-1">link-offset-1</a> <a href="#" class="link-offset-2">link-offset-2</a> <a href="#" class="link-offset-3">link-offset-3</a>

</div>7Underline appears on hover
link-underline-opacity-0 with link-underline-opacity-75-hover: the underline fades in on hover.
