@sneridagh Can you take a look and share your thoughts? |

@frapell nice! yeah, we are looking something like this. @pnicolli and the RT folks are also looking for a UX formula that works like this. The only thing missing is how we provide a way to specify external URLs, and if we want to maintain the "lite inline chooser" in some manner. Do you have something in mind for that? I have to contact @albertcasado for searching a good UX solution for it. We have to discuss this in the next weeks, I will include you in the meetings/discussions! |

@sneridagh Ahhh... totally ignored that use case... I am no UX/UI designer, so not sure the best approach... One way could be maybe to keep the AddLinkForm, without the search capability, and instead add the "navTreeSVG" button to the left of it... That way you can type any URL you want, but also you can click this button to navigate using the ObjectBrowser... For sure, let me know if you are meeting, I could ask our UX/UI guy to join me and share some ideas! |

@sneridagh Also, btw, I think that when you highlight an existing link, you should get under the block sidebar all of the different controls for it, like the target, title, WCAG, etc... Something like the Image block has... |
|
@sneridagh LOL, seems they indeed added the navTreeSVG to the AddLinkForm XD I guess we can discard this then, and continue on that branch ;) |

It’s great to have different PoCs, so we can decide having different options. Anyways, I will contact Albert, let’s see what’s his take on this. Then we can schedule a meeting together to decide the final approach. |
