Inline layout – use frames and other elements *inside* text blocks

Why doesn’t autolayout support inline layout This kind of design of including rich text elements (spans), icons, emojis, chips, and images inside a block of text is becoming increasingly popular and seems like it would be straightforward to implement.

Im currently contemplating building a Figma plugin that would split a text block into individual words, then wrap them in a ‘Wrap’ auto-layout frame. This way you could insert arbitrary elements inside the text.

@Figma pls
