Add ability to set link text at creation time for Navigation links #50179
Comments
The current flow requires you to type a URL, apply it, then select the text and change it. Adding the text label alongside the link will make adding a link a more unified experience. Current: CleanShot.2023-04-28.at.16.33.14.mp4 |
This is URL dialog relevant, not just navigation relevant, correct? CC: @SaxonF as I think he's dabbled with that interface as well. |
The video in the link ui overview issue should cover this |
I don't know that it's necessary in every context, but perhaps. I don't want to make links unnecessarily complicated if it's not necessary (adding the label wholesale). In the case of adding a link to text, you have the text already there at least. In the Navigation block flow, you add a link without existing text - so the label uses the link instead, which is almost always going to be edited next; it's basically incomplete. |
I understand the original motivation for hiding the link text was to remove clutter from the UI. In this specific case however, I agree with @richtabor that the flow for adding links requires that we can set link text at point of link creation. The flow of

I'm going to close this in lieu of #50890, which details the link edit state holistically (including link and text fields on edit) |
The Link UI affords the ability to set the link text (text not the URL) directly from the popover. However in recent times this has been moved into the link "settings drawer" meaning it is not immediately visible when creating a link.
This causes issues for the Navigation block when adding links into a menu.
We need to fix this to improve the flows.
When adding a link it should be possible to set both the link URL and the link text during the initial creation phase. This will involve moving the text control out of the settings drawer.
