Story maps collections - navigate within the collection

[AndyGarwood]

I am using collections in story maps to create a simpler version of our local development plan, I have several story maps in the collection that explains the review process for housing/employment sites and all lead to a story map and dashboard that reveals the conclusion of the process as proposed sites for development.

It would be great if I could link between different story maps in the collection, so when user reads the story map for housing at the bottom I can have a link to jump to the proposed sites story map, and the section of that story - so "click here to see the proposals" - collection moves to that story map and the relevant section of that story map

I have tried to use hyperlinks but this opens the collection in a new tab to show the correct story map, it would really work well if it could move between the story maps in the collection within the same tab

There are some technical challenges with detecting and manipulating embedded stories within a collection, but we recognize the value this would provide. We'll look into this during our 2022 planning.

@AndyGarwood  - this is exactly what I want to do as well! I would love to create a link that would take a viewer from one ArcGIS StoryMap in a collection to a specific header in another ArcGIS StoryMap in that same collection (but keep them still within the collection).

@OwenGeo - do you have any updates you can share on this topic?

Thanks!
Shane

I still think this is a good idea and have some specific, tangible use cases (which I would be happy to describe, if/when it would be helpful).

Fingers crosses that this comes to pass at some point!

Cheers,
Shane
