Custom term archive links using wpv-post-taxonomy

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to create custom links to each term displayed by the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode.

Solution: Use a separate View of the taxonomy, filtered by term, where the term is set by the current post. Then in the Loop editor, build the custom link tags.

I have custom taxonomy which I am using in custom post type. Custom Taxonomy has multiple terms which are attached with Custom post types. I am displaying taxonomies as a link which opens as an archive page. Instead of that I already have a view which has that taxonomy as a filter.

I have added the custom taxonomy as linked with view URL hidden link but the query send all the taxonomies instead of just one

This is what I have
hidden link type="countrydealsin" format="slug"]">[wpv-post-taxonomy type="countrydealsin" format="name"] but when sending this send all the terms instead of just one

hidden link I don't want to display archive pages instead I want them to send to the same search form which I have created with these terms.

Hi, you must create a View of the taxonomy to create these custom links.
- Create a new View of this custom taxonomy, filtered by taxonomy term, where the term is set by the current post.
- In the Loop editor, insert a custom link using the taxonomy slug shortcode:

<a href="/search-result/?wpv-wpcf-location-country=[wpv-taxonomy-slug]">[wpv-taxonomy-title]</a>

- Insert this View in the post or in the post template.

Thanks Christian. I thought about that option. I was hoping to use the same view but looks like I will have a create archive layout for these terms.
