I have large diagram that I am showing in the LucidChart Confluence Macro. The diagram shows up great with one exception. I have link text in the diagram. When you click on the link text in the diagram, the actual link pops up in a small modal generally in a corner of the main diagram. This is not ideal, in that it is not always obvious as I’m looking at the link text, not at the corner, but it sort of works. The problem is that if I’m zoomed into the diagram and click the link text, the link modal does not show up at all (it seems like it pops up outside of the visible frame). This makes the link appear to just not work. I noticed that if I click on the link text and then zoom out, then I’ll see it in the corner of the diagram, but I don’t know how a user would ever know that they need to do that. Isn’t there a way to have the link modal pop up over or directly next to the link text that you clicked?

Hi @Timothy.Potter8, jumping in here for Zuzia while she’s out of office! Thank you again for those details. We’ve shared all your screenshots and comments with our engineering team, and have heard back from them after they’ve taken a closer look.

In the instances when you’re unable to see the link/URL, we recommend scrolling down all the way so that the footer of your embed is within view. If the content of the document in the embed view takes the entirety of the available space, the URL will be displayed in the header or footer.

Regarding your last question - Unfortunately at this time, opening the URL automatically (rather than showing the URL), is not currently supported in Lucid. We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’d like to leave product feedback regarding that, you can create an idea and our product team would love to hear from you further if you’re willing to share. This will also allow other users with similar requests to discover and upvote it, then add details of their own.

Thank you for providing this detailed context on how this impacts your work, I will include your pain points when sharing this.

I’ve also converted this post so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community, and more available for our product teams to review in greater detail.
