Hi Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently encountering an issue with hyperlinks in Figma instances and would appreciate your assistance in resolving it.

Issue Summary

I’ve created an Index component that includes hyperlinks to three other Figma files (Moodboard, Resell, and Other Project & Component Library). The links work perfectly within the master component file. However, when I use the component instance in another Figma file, the hyperlinks no longer function as expected.

Details

• Component File:

Index Component Link

• Instance File:

File with Instance Link

Expected Behavior

The hyperlinks embedded in the master component should work seamlessly within the instances in other files.

Observed Behavior

The hyperlinks do not work when the component is used as an instance in a different file.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Index Component.

  2. Test the hyperlinks—they work correctly.

  3. Use the component instance in a different file, such as the Pre. Con. Projects file.

  4. Test the hyperlinks in the instance—they do not work.

Additional Notes

This functionality is crucial for maintaining consistency and usability across projects. If this is a known limitation, could you please suggest alternative solutions or workarounds?

Thank you for your time and assistance. Please let me know if further details or clarification are needed.

Best regards,
Ankur Soni
