Link to nested frames

I often place my work inside a parent frame, that is styled for presentations. I would like to link directly to a nested frame within.

“Link to selected frame” only allows linking to frames that sit directly on the canvas. Please support at least one level deeper.

Yes please, I really want to be able to do this too. Though I have had links from my own files sent to me from a developer recently, and one of them linked to a nested frame. No idea how he did that.

I asked the developer and there is a workaround. Instead of using the large blue share button top right, find the nested frame you want to link to in the layers panel. Then control-click, select Copy/paste as > Copy link. The link that gets generated then links to that specific frame. Hooray for Anders the developer!

Thanks @James_McKay for getting to the bottom of this — this is great news!

+1 to supporting this via the share button. Love the workaround though, thanks for sharing @James_McKay

This workaround is awesome!
Heads up though: Even though the menu item is labeled Ctrl + L, using the keyboard shortcut still copies a link to the enclosing parent frame.

I’m reporting a bug for this.

Indeed, you’re right!

It seems the shortcut has been updated to ⌘ L.

However, the bug you pointed out regarding the shortcut still appears to be an issue.
