# Data driven links
Each location in the results is rendered with a series of Field Templates. Each Field Template has access to the entire result object, search for states and URL parameters. See the [Field Templates](https://support.metalocator.com/en/articles/3817982-field-templates) documentation for details and reference.
Sometimes, our customers need to pass specific variables to a javascript function or create links dynamically based on data in the result. A simple example would be to create a link with the result name added as a URL parameter:
```
https://example.com?locationName=Mike's Example
```
## Dynamic Links
Links of this type can be added directly to the MetaLocator result card. The simplest way is to add a **Text** or **Button** field to the results card as shown below:

You can also modify an existing field, such as the system **Link** field. This approach is better if the link itself is coming from the data.
Regardless of the field you start with, the HTML markup for a dynamic link will be materially the same:
```
{{name}}
```
The code above can be inserted into the **Field Template** of any field. Below, we've inserted that into a **Button** field added to the results card.

The variable {{name}} will be replaced dynamically with the name of the location in the URL Parameter (shown below in the lower left) and the displayed name of the button.

## Dynamic Javascript
Calls to javascript functions can be authored in a similar way as described above. In the below example, the javascript function receives parameter values defined by data in MetaLocator:
```
{{name}}
```
The **esc** function in the _name_ reference above replaces single & double quotes to avoid quotes within the data breaking the format of the javascript function call.
