What is the best way to add links under the header? (I mean, just attached under the header, but into the html header block). If I insert the links in the Header, they are put on top. While if I put them in After Header, it puts them under but not inside the header block. Maybe there is a way to add links with javascript inside the header block? Thanks in advance!

If your simply looking to add links, there are some theme components that already accomplish this, such as:
- [Custom Header Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-header-links/90588)
- [⬇️ Dropdown Header](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dropdown-header/226170)
Looking at the code these may give you a hint into accomplishing what you’re looking for, but in short, you would need to leverage Discourse’s [pluginAPI](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js) to decorate an existing widget in the header, such as `header-buttons:before` and then you can use the virtual-dom to add anchor tags. Take a look at [this guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648) for more information on that.
