Hello, I'm trying to build links like in <https://ktor.io/docs/type-safe-routing.html#resource_links> by using the overrloaded <https://api.ktor.io/ktor-server/ktor-server-plugins/ktor-server-resources/io.ktor.server.resources/href.html|href> function but without success any one faced this issue before?

I think I get it, the overridden `href` should be invoked in the context of the Application or any instance than extends the application like a `Resource`
```this@dashboard.application.apply { 
    href(Routes.Dashboard)
}```

The problem I'm using HTML DSL <https://ktor.io/docs/html-dsl.html#templates|templates> and I need to use `href(MyResource)` inside the template, how to get the instance of the app or a resource inside the template?

Ok, I passed the application instance to my template class and used it inside the body/
```class RootTemplate(private val pageTitle: String, private val app: Application) : Template&lt;HTML&gt; {
...
 body("has-navbar-fixed-top") {
            app.apply {
               a {
                  href = href(Routes.Dashboard) 
                  
              }
            }
}```
