  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
    Client: Figma Desktop App version 107.1
    OS: macoS Big Sur 11.2.3

Scenario:
i. Copy to the clipboard the link to a design from one of your projects. It should be from a page other than that displayed when you start Figma.
ii. Start Figma
iii. In the menu at the top, click on File > Open File URL From Clipboard: nothing happens
iv. Go to the page (not necessarily the design) that the link points to
v. Click again on File > Open File URL From Clipboard: this time it works. This doesn’t mean that you need to be on the linked page in order for the link to correctly open: indeed, if at the end of step iv you go to a different page, opening the link will still work from there. So it seems what matters is not the page that you’re on when opening the link; rather, what matters is the fact that the page that the link points to has been opened at any point after starting Figma.

  1. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

  2. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
    (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.
