How do I Implement BaseButton logic for RichTextLabel?

[Shadowblitz16]

My suggestion was turned down so I was wondering.
How do I Implement BaseButton logic for RichTextLabel?

I want to create a script that extends from RichTextLabel which implements BaseButton

I tried adding a Button as a child of RichTextLabel and forwarding the events from there but I can't override RichTextLabel's focus and input methods to pull from the Buttons.

A person on discord suggested I make RichTextLabel a child of Button,
But I still need to forward events since I use a custom rich text effect when the button is pushed and I would like to because to use class_name without external dependencies which if I use a scene then I have to preload the scene and add it through the script.

My only solution is to implement the logic of BaseButton into my RichTextButton script that directly extends from RichTextLabel.

I was also looking at the Godot source code on how BaseButton is implemented in the engine and I find there are methods used that don't exist gdscript side for example bitwise methods.

Can someone please help me?

The RichTextLabel a child of Button, and forward what you need is a solution. Depending how you want to use it, this might be as simple as exposing a property that allows direct access to the RichTextLabel. And if you do not want to use an scene, you can always instantiate the RichTextLabel from code. I understand that it is not desirable, but I do not see why it would not work.

On the other hand, you seem to have found impediments for implementing BaseButton logic in a RichTextLabel, which is what you claim to be the only solution... However, such impediments make me think it is not a solution at all.
