How can I follow a react-router Link without it being pushed to history, but keep URL change?

Question

I want to change URL when clicking on component Links, same way they currently change by default, but without them being pushed to browser history. I've found the following working for someone in this answer:

this.props.activeRouteHandler({key: "anystring"})

but I don't know where should I place it and if it even works anymore. Can someone give me an example? Thanks

Use the replace property of Link and set it to true.

Here is a link to the documentation: https://reactrouter.com/web/api/Link

ex.

<Link to=[your_url] replace={true}>
  ...
</Link>
