# up.link.isFollowable(link)

Returns whether the given link will be [followed](https://unpoly.com/api/up.follow.md) by Unpoly instead of making a full page load.

- [`[up-follow]`](https://unpoly.com/api/up-follow.md)
- `[up-target]`
- `[up-layer]`
- [`[up-transition]`](https://unpoly.com/api/up-transition.md)
- [`[up-preload]`](https://unpoly.com/api/up-preload.md)
- `[up-content]`
- `[up-fragment]`
- `[up-document]`

To make additional elements followable, see [`up.link.config.followSelectors`](https://unpoly.com/api/up.link.config.md#config.followSelectors).
