Re: Individual link options
Gary, where do you stop? There is a trade-off for Xara's "no code" simplicity and having this and variations would be tantamount to Xara having to offer a CSS editor.
You can achieve what you need with with a Page Placeholder holding simple CSS statements and Naming the elements to give them an ID to link into the CSS.
The Xara default links' CSS for an entire site is:
a {text-decoration:underline;}
a:link {color:#0000EE; cursor:pointer;}
a:visited {color:#561A8B;}
a:hover {color:#0000EE;}
a * {color:#0000EE;text-decoration:underline;}
If you include this in your Placeholder, you then place #<ID_name> before each line and then change the green values above to what variety you need; W3Schools offers tutorials and examples to play with.
Personally, I believe that Xara should be generating Placeholder code and offering their examples in the Design gallery in the same fashion they currently do for 3rd Party Widgets.

Re: Individual link options
i agree with gary that there could be more wysiwyg freedom with links
especially considering thr web & page layout direction xara are traking
you should be able to resolve this reuqirement with a little creativity
if you create a style in your document, let's say HeaderBox
then in the web properties > website > html code (head) you add a little css
<style>
.HeaderBox { //here's where you put your link visited hover active colours}
.FooterBox { //ditto }
</style>
just make sure HeaderBox as a style exists in all pages
obviously you won't see this in your xara document but you shd see it in your preview
i would like to see this as a feature enhancement in future releases
