I wrote a simple app using Miro’ Web SDK that generates a link to the current viewport. However, when I click on one of these links while on a board, a few instance of the board (i.e., a new window) opens up.

The Ask: Immediately move the user to a location on the board

  1. I’d like moveToViewport to be handled the same way as moveToWidget — so that when the URL contains moveToViewport, the board pans to the specified viewport on the current board instead of always opening a new window (to current board).
  2. (And less of a priority) Add a “Copy link to location” action to the canvas context menu, which would generate a link with the moveToViewport parameter. See the Wish List idea post for this second ask here.

Use Case

Creating links to navigate a user to locations on the board without the need of creating anchor points (e.g., ugly frames or transparent shapes).

The Bookmarks app by Miro Labs accomplishes this by using viewport.set. However, I want this to work natively in Miro.

My app that creates the links:
