Is it possible to get the Share Widget in Experience Builder to function the same as it does in Web App Builder?

In Web App Builder, the Share widget allowed you to share a link that would change depending on what the map displayed. This made it possible to select a feature, zoom in on it and then share a link that would take others to the same zoomed in view.

I'd like to mimic this functionality in Web Experience Builder, but as far as I can tell the Share widget only generates a link to the opening view of the Experience. If you move around the map or zoom in on a feature the link generated by the Share widget still generates the same link. It seems like there should be a way to add a Trigger/Action, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.

Hoping someone knows how to solve this issue.

Thanks.

This is something that we have not yet supported but evaluating in the near future. There are some similar posts like the following:

Like you @BrianHenderson2 I have many short links saved in a Hub site table for Project Management that open a common Web AppBuilder project but zoom to a specific extent and have certain layers turned on/off. We are transitioning over to Experience Builder in 2024 and I don't want this to stop me from accomplishing some of my goals for the year. @TonghuiMing I've seen the latest roadmap but would like an answer so I can communicate with management sometime soon. Thanks!

Has there been any update on if/when this may be implemented?

Thank you

I would also like to know if / when this may be implemented.

This works now - if you use the Share widget in Experience Builder it uses the URL parameters to show whatever layers you've got turned on, and zoomed to the location you are currently in.

What version of your deployment are you in @DebSF in regards to Experience builder? 11.2 or 11.3? or did you already go to 11.4?

@jcokin1 Ah I'm using ArcGIS Online rather than Enterprise, so it's v1.16 of Experience Builder.
