Hello,<br /><br />When I look at Liferay front-end development I can see there is a lot of things replaced with react or clay components.<br />The classic liferay-ui components/taglibs is possible to override thanks to JSP overrides and it is very handy.<br />But these liferay-ui components are continuously replaced with clay components. And I can&#39;t see some elegant way how to customize clay components.<br />Every clay component offers its property, but what if I need to slightly customize HTML structure?<br />I can easily replace clay component with hardcoded HTML structure, but that is not what I&#39;m looking for.<br /><br />Example:<br />Clay component: &lt;clay:management-toolbar&gt; has creationMenu and this menu has some dropdown items.<br />I&#39;m able to set href, label and another properties on dropdownItems.<br />But what if I want to add a new attribute like data-senna-off=&#34;true&#34; to &lt;a&gt; link element inside of dropdown item?<br />Is there some elegant way how to achieve this?<br /><br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Vaclav
