Problem

Enhancement requested here suggests to add an icon before the link text
However, this goes against IDL and Carbon's fundamental rule of Flush left alignment for text.

If an Icon is introduced before the text, the text would appear indented, which is why we do not allow the icon to appear before the text. This guideline is missing in the usage docs for Link and IDL's Icon usage doc.

Solution

Introduce the above mentioned guideline in the relevant usage tabs.
[30th Sept'24 Backlog cleaning call update: This guideline needs to be written under the Link component's usage tab, also refer dot com's guidance]

Suggested Severity

Severity 3 = The documentation is mis-leading, somewhat true, missing minor details, or grammatically incorrect. It doesn't present conflicts with other parts of the design system.
