While we wait for this feature, just reviving an old tip shared by @Jonathan White at HiroStudio.co!

if you want the internal Link to arrow to be pointing to the left, you can

  1. create a shape with no background or border
  2. make it a link to an object on the board
  3. rotate it 180 degrees to point to the left
  4. add some text, e.g., “Back”
  5. and group the shape and text. 

Here it is in action:

An oldie but a goodie @Robert Johnson. One additional tip is to play with the size of the box you will use for the link. At different levels of zoom, the blue link arrows can get smaller or disappear altogether. Make sure to zoom out on your board to ensure your boxes are sized to make your link as visible as you need it to be. 

 


This is a HUGE need for our development team as well. Please add large clickable buttons/hyperlinks.

Its an embarassement to wait for so long for such simple and intuitive feature.

This feature would basically enable clickable wireframes in Miro. Why we still haven’t got this simple feature is unfathomable

As others requested, I also want to have this feature but along with a shortcut for the blue arrow. 
Kindly prioritise this. 

Here is my use case: https://community.miro.com/ask-the-community-45/is-there-a-shortcut-on-miro-to-go-to-linked-item-from-an-object-18056?postid=67718#post67718

It's ridiculous. I suppose Miro has at least one usability consultant, who strongly advises against such a feature.
This has been a great idea for the past four years, and 5,684 people have been searching for a solution. But who cares?
Why is this thread even in the “ideas”  category and not in “bugs”.

 


Oh wait, I’ll check this one:
 

 


(after watching, 6 hours later...)
Hmmm …. no. But lots of the exciting AI stuff we all waited for.
And a study in the agile community.

And Jira Integration! Oh! News alert! On February 15, 2024, Atlassian officially, and quietly, ended the official ‘life’ of its popular Jira Server product 🤣 (sorry, that’s just out of pure frustration)

come on, @Brie
can we have clickable objects. please?

@Heinz Abegglen Agreed. when your product have basic usability bugs, who cares about AI?

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for your feedback and for continuing the discussion on this. We understand the frustration and recognize how beneficial clickable objects would be for many of our users, especially when creating interactive wireframes and workflows.

 

The team is constantly reviewing suggestions and collecting all your votes and use cases to prioritize it accordingly.

 

In the meantime, for those looking for temporary workarounds, you can still use linked shapes and text as shared earlier in the thread by @Robert Johnson and @Jonathan White, and I encourage you to keep sharing your specific use cases so that we can pass them along to the product team.

 

Thanks again for your patience and input!


Having a clickable button or an object that can convert to a link or button is really an essential functionality. 

A button to link to another element, page or text to an internal page element is urgently needed. External link buttons. 

Please add this functionality. its desperately needed.  


pls add a clickable object/button that you can link to other areas of the page. It would make the presentations have a broader use. Its a critical function. thanks 


Why is this still not a feature 3 years later? Looks like I’m leaving Miro. 


Please add this functionality. its desperately needed! Especially because currently the “clickable” link is dependant on the zoom-level. So on a board with a lot of content you have to zoom in deeply  in order to “activate” the clickable link-symbol. Miro newbies stumble over this often. I would also appreciate, if it would be possible to link a picture completely, not only in the tiny link-symbol in the right upper corner.

Based on how long this has been ignored, I feel like there is some myopic security concern, patent infringement concern, or compliance requirement of a whale of a client keeping this from becoming a reality for the masses. Hey devs, if it is security, what if you allow it for intra-board only (Prezi had this a decade and a half ago, although jump-to would also be nice vs. pan-to, Figma has it, etc). For external links, at lease make the arrow link scalable and able to be styled. If it is not any of the three issues mentioned, please innovate! The current solution is the most minimum viable crap our team and clients have had to deal with in a while. I would be evangelizing Miro to so many more clients if you cleaned up this one issue. It really would be a great alternative to other app prototyping tools or complex process/production explanation/visualization! It’s crazy that this is a wireframing tool and you have this non-intuitive, so completely OFF standard UI/UX method for navigating! I would be willing to sign an NDA to get the straight story about what’s going on here!

I also just saw what round of funding they are in. That might also add to the reasons why they aren’t focusing on the actual community and power-users of the tool anymore. Save money, sub growth!
