React Hooks <a onClick> modal

Question

I have a functional react component using hooks. I want to show a modal after clicking the a tag before redirecting. I tried useHistory to push the route but it does not work. Here is a reduced version of my code

const LoginPage = ({ url }) => {
  const handleClick= (e) => {
    e.preventDefault;
    showModal();
    // trigger the redirect after closing the modal
  };

  return (
    <a
      href={url}
      onClick={(e) => handleClick(e)}
    >
      click
    </a>
  );
};

You can definitely do that with an history push in the onCloseWhatever of your modal

If it's not working you should check your implementation of history
