Set the URL of a link using a property or variable

Hi!

I’m trying to create an “author credit” component to document a design system. The component has a link to the original resource. All text will be set using component properties.

Is it possible to create a property so the link URL is filled in the instance instead of using overrides?

Hey, I’m having the same issue.
Have you found a solution?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, @diegosanigle!

This currently isn’t possible, but we’ve updated this topic into a feature request and passed it along to our team for future consideration.

This would be great. I wanted to give my Product Manager a way to mark change log cards with his Jira IDs and have them append to a URL string so the dev’s have a quick click. I know there’s Jira plugins but the ability to link a variable with a Figma link would extend to more uses so it get’s my vote! 😁

I’m trying to set up a mockup where a mobile app links out to a webpage and hands over names. An option to link out to variables would be highly desirable!

Yep, need to have links to website for several clients. Any update ?

Feature could be very nice to have dynamic documentation, especially for multiBrand Design System

Just add link bounded to variables 🙂

this would be amazing to have. I can use it to build a survey and send that data via a link and thank them for testing the prototype

I’m also looking forward to this feature.

Here’s why
Same usage as most of the order comments but for my dev team. I created a component made of the (Shortcut.com) logo and two text <input> as properties, a « Story ID » and a « Story Link ». The later applying the URL that, on click, redirects to that Story ID (or ideally on the entire component) for any body that navigates my Figma pages.

Since not all developers are familiar with Figma GUI and do not plan on learn it, I need to paste that component within all my Figma mockups.

I’ll chime in as well for support for this. I’ve got my main prototype flow, but want to bring folks back to a certain part of the flow for additional feedback after the fact. The page has a “popup” that sometimes appears on delay, but I want to change that for the second time around and aside from copying the page, I don’t see a way to do this easily. Thanks!
