Is there a CSS selector for optional children/descendants, so that instead of writing

a:link,
a:link * {
  color: red;
}

I can write something like this:

a:link ?* {
  color: red;
}

what's the scenario you are trying to solve? – Huangism Apr 12 '21 at 18:46
You will probably be better off just trusting inheritance rather than trying to get any cleverer with your selectors. Just select the stuff you want to target. – TylerH Apr 12 '21 at 18:48

In just CSS, no. – epascarello Apr 12 '21 at 18:48
OK, so there is no such an option, thanks. – user90726 Apr 12 '21 at 18:50
No such operator in CSS. Sometimes you just have to write multiple rules. (Note that the `color` property is inherited.) – Michael Benjamin Apr 12 '21 at 18:59
If you give us a scenario(s), we can understand the issue better and most likely have a better solution for what you have now – Huangism Apr 12 '21 at 19:08
