Navigate to New Parent Screen From an Overlay

I’d love for there to be a way, when working with overlays/modals, to be able to close the overlay so that when it closes, the screen revealed upon closing is different from the original parent screen. For example, on mobile I have a bottom sheet menu from which I can select an icon that allows me to navigate to a new page. This isn’t the same as swapping overlays or navigating within overlays. It’s that an action from the overlay results in the parent screen (screen under the overlay) changing.

I’m able to do this with Smart Animate with just the menu component, but when I want there to be a dark background to overlay the parent screen, that messes the animation up and the behavior isn’t as one would expect. The animation with the overlay feature is perfect, except that I can’t control which screen the overlay closes on to.

I really need this! I want to set ‘Close overlay’ and then ‘Navigate to’ another frame… ‘Close and navigate to’ will be awesome 🙏

I just ran into this limitation as well and unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any workaround.

For me it would look more like “Close Overlay and Change to…” where the “change to” would allow selection of a different variant from the component that originally called the overlay.

10 / 10 would love this idea be implemented.

Exactly, ​@Lucas_Martin_Campora , ‘Close and navigate to’ is what I would need to effectively animate a sort overlay function.

I need a “Close overlay and navigate to” feature on nearly every one of my designs.
