Independent Connection Points for Table Rows/Columns

If I’m adding detail to the contents of a table in FigJam, I would like to be able to point to a specific row in my current instance, and not generalized direction toward the entire table. Cheers.

Adding one more thought: I'm concerned this feature request might be undervalued based on its current vote count. A relatively small change like this could be a major gateway feature, attracting a whole new audience of technical users from platforms like Lucidchart, Miro, or Draw.io.

Sometimes, the most impactful quality-of-life improvements are ones users don't know to ask for until they're available. I sincerely hope the product team sees the strategic potential here and that this doesn't fly under the radar.

Adding my strong support for this. I wanted to consolidate some feedback, as I've noticed this same core request is scattered across multiple threads, which might be why it appears to have lower engagement than it actually does.

The core problem is the lack of connector anchor points on individual table rows. This is a fundamental blocker for technical diagramming (like ERDs or schemas).

It seems many other users feel the same way. Here are other threads asking for the exact same feature:
 

make-rows-and-column-in-figjam-table-a-target-and-destination-for-arrows
 

What's interesting is that the Figma team has already implemented a similar solution for shapes, as seen in this launched feature:
 

launched-custom-connection-points-on-shapes-in-figjam
 

It feels like extending this existing logic to table rows would be the natural next step. This single improvement would unlock Figma/FigJam for so many technical use cases and attract users from other specialized diagramming tools.

I hope the product team can see the widespread need for this and consolidate this feedback.

+1 should be native

 

best workaround I’ve found so far is 

  • Create a section to group + name table
  • Create a single row table with headers (e.g. Field, Type, Description)
  • Create a single row table for each new row you want to add. You need separate table for each row so that you can add connectors between tables!-->
  • Hit x to select connector → connect table rows
