In HTML its just so simple use anchor tag and link it but no its not working in asp.net, so anybody here can provide details or documentation for doing this, I am a beginner so please any help would be appreciated

Create a folder named Pages and place your Razor page in that. Ensure that you have added the Razor Pages services and endpoints in Startup:

services.AddRazorPages();

app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
     endpoints.MapRazorPages();
});

(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/razor-pages/?view=aspnetcore-5.0&tabs=visual-studio)

In the anchor tag helper, make sure you use the asp-page attribute and pass in the relative path of your page rooted in the Pages directory, without the file extension. It should look like this:

<a asp-page="/YourPage">Click</a>

E.g You have this in your layouts page

<a asp-area="" asp-controller="Home"asp- action="page">Privacy

You will need a controller named Home for that webpage all you need to do is create a method in the Home controller that routes to that page

 public IActionResult page()
  {
        return View();
  }

Note the should be located razor page should be in Home folder(The name of your controller) located in Views folder
