Yes, I think so. Just so I’m clear, because I’m only at the PHP knowledge level of taking a pattern/example and running with it, I could go about using this filter like so?

```plaintext
function custom_discussion_link( $input ) {  
  ob_start();
  ?>
  <div class="wpdc-join-discussion">
    <div class="custom-wrapper-div">
      <h3>Heading</h3>
      <p>Explanation/context yada yada.</p>
      <?php echo '<a class="wpdc-join-discussion-link" href="' . esc_url_raw( $discourse_permalink ) . '"' . $new_tab . '>' . esc_html( $link_text ) . '</a>'; ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <?php
  $link_html = ob_get_clean();
  return $link_html;
}
add_filter( 'wpdc_join_discussion_link_html', 'custom_discussion_link' );

```

Hopefully that’s not too hilariously off the mark. 🫣
