+## Third-party router link support
+
+<span class="badge badge-info small">v2.15.0+</span>
+
+BootstrapVue auto detects using `<router-link>` and `<nuxt-link>` link components. Some 3rd party
+frameworks also provide customized versions of `<router-link>`, such as
+[Gridsome's `<g-link>` component](https://gridsome.org/docs/linking/). BootstrapVue can support
+these third party `<router-link>` compatible components via the use of the `router-component-name`
+prop. All `vue-router` props (excluding `<nuxt-link>` specific props) will be passed to the
+specified router link component.
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- The 3rd party component will only be used when the `to` prop is set.
+- Not all 3rd party components support all props supported by `<router-link>`, nor do not support
+  fully qualified domain name URLs, nor hash only URLs. Refer to the 3rd party component
+  documentation for details.
+
+### `router-component-name`
+
+- type: `string`
+- default: `undefined`
+- availability: BootstrapVue 2.15.0+
+
+Set this prop to the name of the `<router-link>` compatible component, e.g. `'g-link'` for
+[Gridsome](https://gridsome.org/).
+
+If left at the default, BootstrapVue will automatically select `<router-link>` or `<nuxt-link>`.
