hi Loop team! Great to see the product out there; congrats!

Say, I'd like to (easily?) link from one (Sub-) page to another. Can I do so?

    This should be basic functionality indeed. Coda and Notion is so much richer, better and faster. Hopefully the product team will create some new features before it is GA.

    Internal links is one of the biggest cons of Loop. It's far from straightforward.

    • Internal links should be added as a link, not as a card.
    • Internal links should not link to Sharepoint, but stay inside Loop. The whole point for using Loop is so we can avoid Sharepoint for this stuff ;-)
    • Internal links should not open in a new tab. It should open in the same tab.
    • You should be able to create an internal link without a page being preset. E.g. by just doing /subpage, or [[subpage]], or something simalar.
    • You should not go into the other page, copy the share link, go back to the page you were editing and paste it! And then you also have to change it to a link, because you don't want the card... Yep, that is a lot of mouseclicks.
    • New pages should be available as links instantly, not 10 minutes later.
    • Etc.

    As said, hopefully Microsoft doubles down on this. It's way too basic right now.

    Hey,

    is there a plan to make possibility of creating a link inside the app?

    Right now all of the solutions will redirect me to Sharepoint viewer while I would like to stay inside Loop app and just be moved to another subpage.

    For me @ doesn't search anything other than people. No files, no pages

    Rob I couldn't agree more. I was very excited for Loop, but without simple easy to use internal page linking it isn't very valuable. I really really really hope MS fixes this otherwise it really isn't a very useful product.

    thanks Jake!

    some observations; for the product team maybe....:

    1: sounds like the way to go from a way of generating a link. But. there is a very considerable delay on another page being available. So, could not create a page and then link to it from another (I waited a few minuted and then indeed it showed up after typing "@"). Should (IMHO) be instant.

    Also, while indeed it does link after a while, it does not generate a nice and modest link, but a large "section" (I'd like to use it inline, like HTML). See screenshot below. Also, upon clicking the link, I don't move within the Loop app to the clicked page, but the browser opens a webview to a Sharepoint page (Granted, its the right page, but staying withing Loop is more intuitive).

    2 and 3 both seem to do the same (like it's the same solution). And the good: it is an inline link, which stays within the Loop app (albeit in a new tab, which if I wanted that, I would handle that myself). But... both options make a link button "shared via SharePoint" (and have no option to rename to the actual URL). Am I overlooking a way for that link to have a different text field?

    Oh, and there seems to be a "4th way", which almost overcomes my above objections:

    1. Copy the URL to the page, just like in option 2&3. Then type the text of the page you care to link to. Select that text, click the 3-dots in the context menu. Click "Link" and paste the URL in there. It will present the link, very easily recognisable as a link, within the flow of the document. Nice. But (...); the link does not respond to a left-mouse-click... To use it, I have to right-click and 'open link', a left-mouse link opening would be nice and elegant...

    thanks!!

    Marcel
