Vaadin redirecting to a URL from button click

Problem

I have searched for a long time, but I really cannot figure this out. How do I redirect the user to a new external link (e.g. www.google.com) when they click a button in Vaadin? The only thing I have managed to do so far is to put the link into a link ``` Link link = new Link("link", new ExternalResource("http://www.google.com")); ``` Can anyone help me out with this please?
