With custom link element

By default Breadcrumb uses a tag to render breadcrumbs, which may not always suit your needs. This behaviour can be customized with linkAs prop, the example below uses Gatsby's Link component, but it would also work with react-router's Link component as well because they share required parts of the component API.

Note that links list contains objects with different keys compared to the example above, specifically href key is replaced with to, that's because Gatsby's Link expects its destination to be set through to prop (same as react-router's Link), internally Breadcrumb passes down these objects (except label attribute) as props to the linkAs element.
