Possible block navigation

Open olegfedak opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Reality description I manage a substantial list of front matter data with nested properties. Scrolling through such a page to find a specific field can be challenging, even when the object-widget or the list-widget are collapsed.

Value The crucial value here lies in simple and fast block navigation.

Posible solution In my situation, I use a preview template. What if clicking on a specific block in the preview pane could instantly take me to the related widget in the editor? I mean it as 'click and see'.

@olegfedak could you draw up some mock wireframes of what you envision?

This is a good idea but it could interfere with selecting text. Maybe we could show a button on hover like anchor links in the docs.
