Ad hoc links, callout links, and making [links] clickable.
I often use the [link] syntax within a table to show that an action or screen can be invoked for the data in that row. See the attached mockup.
What's hard is getting that link to actually be clickable. For fullscreen presentations, I want to be able to illustrate that flow. To accomplish this now, as shown in the mockup, I create a tooltip, make its text blank, then overlay a link shape on top of it. This allows me to navigate to the next view within presentation mode.
There's gotta be a better way! Maybe a shape dedicated to this purpose?

Inappropriate?Hi Jeff, we plan to address this two ways:
- allow a way to specify a landing page via text, something like [Label -> landing mockup]
- add a "hot spot" control type (final name TBD), which is a transparent linkable rectangle
In the meantime, a better workaround to your tooltip solution could be to use the Canvas / Rectangle control, remove the border and make it fully transparent. That's essentially what the hot spot control will be like.
