Truncate text: BEGINNING or MIDDLE of text/url as well

Share an idea

Please add option to truncate text in the middle of the text, we use this for URLs so users can see the end of urls not just the beginning. But I always have to be very careful when I make the mocks in Figma to detach components and add 3 dots in the middle manually, and communicate that to devs in detail.

If option is added in Figma then Devs can see it in properties of components, and in mock at the same time, without handoff overhead.

Previously mentioned in this thread but was locked.

In UI, there are cases where truncating from the end renders text useless:

This has existed on macOS/iOS for a while and I have to manually enter the truncation in my text layers, I think an option for middle truncation would be a great addition to the text formatting options.
