News Link in the News Webpart
We want to use the built in news page and news link for news articles. It would be awesome if the BT news webpart would be able to handle this without any extra configuration. It requires a URL field to be filled out, but there is no URL field available to choose. It also doesnt work with news links(3rd party link) in the modal. It just breaks.

Hi Zach! Thank you for sharing your experience on the News Web Part! The new News Web Part does support built in news pages :) If you choose "News Posts" as your data source, and follow the steps to choose the site or sites from which you want to pull News from, you should be able to display these with no additional configuration. The web part also supports 3rd party links if you are using "Save to this Web Part" as your data source which cane be displayed inside a modal, if under "Actions" you configure "Click action" to be "Open article site" and "Open Link" in "Modal". Let me know if you would like to set up a call to dive deeper on this.
