   That’s just the default array representation of craft\fields\data\LinkData objects, based on the class’s public properties.

   You can fetch additional values by calling their public methods directly. For example, if all you want is the resulting URL, you could do:

   'transformer' => fn(Entry $entry) => [
       'linkUrl' => $entry->myLinkField->getUrl(),
   ],

   Or if you want additional info from LinkData:

   'transformer' => fn(Entry $entry) => [
       'linkData' => [
           'label' => $entry->myLinkField->getLabel(),
           'url' => $entry->myLinkField->getUrl(),
           // ...
       ],
   ],

   That said, I’ve updated LinkData to automatically include several new values when it’s converted to an array, for Craft 5.11:

   • type
   • value
   • url
   • label
   • filename
   • link
   • attributes
   • defaultLabel
   • elementType
   • elementId
   • elementSiteId
   • elementTitle
