Bookmark Canvas Groups and Cards

[Thompson]

Use case or problem

Canvas: Ability to link to a specific group / a selected section / a card of a Canvas

Use case or problem I can link to a sticky note / a selected group from Excalidraw inside a note. If Canvas offers this card / group of card reference, it would be super powerful. Proposed solution Select a group / a card > Copy reference > Paste it in a note. When I hover the link, I can see preview at the specific group / card inside that Canvas. Even better, I can embed like example below. [2022-12-15_11.11.19_CSX] Current workaround (optional) Using Excalidraw
