Hi @kleinefrage
why do you think it could be the case? After following a link there should be no connection between your page and the new one.
If the cache is deleted the next view will generate the cache again, so even then nothing should break.
Maybe you can elaborate a little bit more, why you think this could be a problem. Am I missing something?
All the best

The “clear cache” button does exactly one thing: clear the cache. So afterwards all cached HTML content is gone and the pages will be re-built by WordPress on the next visit.
My intuition is: No, it does not break anything.
But anyway it can be tested easily, right? Just simulate a regular user and flush the cache from another browser….
Little more detail:
There are only 2 scenarios I can imagine where clearing the cache removes something from the markup:
- the link is only present in the cached markup
- the cached link is no longer available
For the former there is no realistic way to achieve this, because one would have to actively modify the cache data (this is likely not done accidentally).
For the latter case one could consider the cache to be outdated anyway. Relying on outdated cache in general is a really bad idea, because it can be cleared at any time by various actions.
Edit: apparently Torsten was faster. Left the reply window open for quite some time…
