Hi, all. I want to ask if is there a possible way to make a scrollTo event on a specific word/string in a textbox? For links, it’s possible by pasting the link after highlighting the text. I’m also open for any work-arounds that is possible in an Auto-layout.


Thank you!

Hello @Raphael_M


You cannot select a part of a text block to create an interaction. But you have work-arounds


Multiple text block :


Create multiple text block in order to ____ the one you want to interact with




(cons : this won’t work well on a multi-line text)




Absolute invisible element


You can position a rectangle with a 0% opacity and add the trigger on itself




(cons : whenever you change the text, you’ll probably have to reposition the invisible rectangle)


Hi, Thanks for your reply.


You’re right with the use of multiple text blocks in an auto-layout wont work well on multiple lines. I’m thinking if is there is a Figma feature like putting a <# + Frame_Name] or something like that in adding links in the create link feature, which apparently doesn’t work or there is something missing on it.

If it works like the <a> in HTML, I’m thinking if it works like <a href="alink/#+yourframename">.


Using an invisible element in absolute position will not be a good idea because it’s going to be manually adjusted whenever I change screen sizes after all the text will be in an auto-layout.


Unfortunately, to my knowledge there is no such things in Figma. Maybe some plugins offer it but I don’t know any.
