Describe the Bug
I would like to use an ion-fab-button with a href as I would use an ion-button. But the attribute "direction" is missing.

Related Code

<!-- direction exists -->
<ion-button expand="full" href="/login" direction="forward">Login</ion-button>

<!-- direction does not exist -->
<ion-fab vertical="bottom" horizontal="center" edge slot="fixed">
        <ion-fab-button href="/plant-add" direction="forward">
            <ion-icon name="add"></ion-icon>
        </ion-fab-button>
    </ion-fab>

You can use routerLink with routerDirection:

<ion-fab vertical="bottom" horizontal="center" edge slot="fixed">
    <ion-fab-button routerLink="/plant-add" routerDirection="forward">
        <ion-icon name="add"></ion-icon>
    </ion-fab-button>
</ion-fab>

@aam-antonio Thank you, this works. But why not use this for ion-button then too. Why the inconsistency?
