I keep finding myself wanting to share a link that would take a board participant to a specific location/view on a board, not an object.

Currently, I can only create a link that will move a user to an object using the "Copy link" option to generate the "moveToWidget" link. This is not ideal as it zooms the user in on an object, so that it fills their screen/viewport, which does not match what want them to see.

My current workaround is to create a rectangle shape that with no colour/fill or border, using that rectangle to create an "invisible viewport". I then copy the link to that rectangle, and lock it (which creates other problems when people – including myself – click an invisible object and have a seemingly random context menu appear).

The Miro Labs Bookmarks app appears to be experimenting such functionality by allowing a user to create a bookmark to a location/view.

Should such a feature be delivered, it seems like an opportunity to also deliver the Wish List idea to have the option to navigate to the current start view (see it here).

Given the additional options in the board's context menu, perhaps they are nested:

 

Thanks for considering this idea :)
