Adding an anchor to the custom widget builder

[agrippaharfleur]

Hi @berhalak,

I’m wrapping up a document designed for extensive use by non-tech-savvy users, and I’m setting up a DocGristTour tutorial to guide them effectively. However, I noticed that custom widgets currently don’t support anchors.

Would it be possible to add anchor functionality for custom widgets? Some of these widgets include action buttons or specific actions that are critical to the document's workflow. Being able to include and explain them in the tutorial would make a huge difference in ensuring smooth user adoption.

If there is any chances that upgrade can be made, that would be awesome! 🙏

Hi @agrippaharfleur,

Can you share a sample scenario? I'm not sure I fully understand the connection between DocGristTour and custom widgets.

Hi @berhalak,

Here is a sample scenario:
https://grist.numerique.gouv.fr/o/docs/cutoDmnMDRe6/Anchor-exemple/p/39

On this page, I’d like to add a step in the GristDocTour to explain the button, which is part of a custom widget. But unlike most Grist blocks (which provide an anchor link accessible via the dots menu), the custom widget block doesn’t seem to support anchors.

I’ve tried few workarounds:
-> Inspecting the page to find a pattern like a1.s187.r107.c231 that Grist typically uses for anchors, but without success.
-> Attempting to create a custom anchor by using an ID from the HTML of my custom widget, but that didn’t work either.

Did I make more sense with that exemple?

Hi @agrippaharfleur,

Yes thank you for the screenshoot. I'll take a look if it is possible and will return to you.
