[Card] Allow text link on Card in all situations

[GeoPei]

The problem

Hi team

My client hopes to add link text to the link of each card in the card group component, but we found that there is no component that can be used, could you please help to update the component?

Thank you.

The solution

we want to add the link text on the card group component, now we just add title, description, link.

Hi @GeoPei! The design team reached out to your original question in slack, I've copied @shixiedesign's response here:

the basic card (not in group) allows CTA text. When used in a card group without image like this, we tried to make sure the cards don’t become overly text heavy. If you look at card in image above, there are actually heading, body copy, and (not shown is) eyebrow text, 3 places to give the users an idea what the card should do.
If you think you really need the additional CTA text, please share your use case and we can take a look! The system is open to growing based on adopter needs.

Closing this ticket based on the comment from @shixiedesign, but if you feel you have a use case feel free to reopen this ticket and add details.

Thanks @annawen1 for pulling in my response from Slack and @GeoPei, we have been discussing this internally again, and we realize what you @GeoPei are trying to do (heading + copy + CTA text) is necessary for UX, esp. when people skip reading the copy, and people often do. We were more worried about 4 types of texts (heading + copy + CTA text + eyebrow).

So considering this requested feature makes a good design, I think we will proceed to allow CTA text, so reopening this issue. I will capture the recommendation of using only up to 3 types of text in the usage guidance webpage for Cards.
