Hi @leroy,
i dont have a solution four you ,but i can say how i would do it and how it is done by the developer of this site.
As you can see in this image, they´re using svg elements for these links.
How i would do it (try to do it partly in webflow)
1. Test id / webflow animation with lottie file.
It should work if you have the right class names. After exporting a simple animation via bodymovin, i would test the compatibility with webflow ix. To link lottie elements to sites i would use jquery / js in combination with the elements class name or id.
To sum it all up, yes you´ll need (in my opinion) svg. I don´t know how to create exactly this round type of svg animation all in webflow.
