Allow users to create anchor links to shapes in the same lucid page

I’m a conversation designer and I work with large enterprise clients. I often create a document for a client’s bot, then pages/tabs for the different versions of the bot (US, UK, Japan, etc). Each flow is enormous, and many conversation flows (“flows”) have nodes with more detail laid out in the doc so we can present the highlevel bot, then dive into how the backend engineering will work. Without anchor text, presenting is difficult and slow, and requires a lot of zooming out and searching around the enormous page. Allowing in-page anchor text would be an enormous value-add to our company, and then we’d be able to show off our designs seamlessly and quickly. Please add this functionality.

Hi ​@ecall, thank you for posting in the community! It sounds like you’re looking for the option to link from one element to another in the same Lucid board/document. Is this correct?

While we don’t have specific anchor links or the option to link from a specific shape to another, it is possible to achieve a similar effect using our Frames feature. Alternatively, it is possible to achieve this using a “link to current selection/view” shareable link - for more details please see this community post comment. That said, we understand that this is not very discoverable and highly encourage you to upvote the following idea post and share your feedback:
