rendering social link attributes in an express custom tempalte

Permalink
How do I properly render social link attributes in an express custom template? I can get the social link object but the default output is just the url of the link. I'm assuming it is due to the attribute type just like rendering attributes containing images but it seems like there is no documentation for the social link attribute type?

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I found a solution that works for me. The associated URLs are a return delimited list. In my custom view.php file the list is exploded into an array using \n (return character) as the delimiter. Then I simply iterate over the array.

Custom css and an image sprite are used to display the various social icons and a default for websites.
