To customize the style of a navigation link view, you can refer to the session "Customize feature discovery with TipKit" from WWDC 2024. This session provides insights into creating custom styles for views, including tips on making the entire view tappable and using properties from the configuration argument to ensure closures and modifiers are evaluated correctly.

Here are some key points from the session:

  1. Custom Tip View Style:

    • Use the properties from the makeBody function's configuration argument instead of the instance values to allow any modifiers applied to your tip view to work with the message and title in your custom style.
    • Apply the custom style by calling the tipViewStyle modifier.
  2. Making the Entire View Tappable:

    • Get the action from the configuration argument and call the action handler when the tip view is tapped.
    • Use the actions property from the configuration argument to ensure the handler is part of your tip view and is called when the action is performed.

For more detailed information, you can watch the session Customize feature discovery with TipKit (08:26).
