Is it possible to link directly to smart images?
I have a region topic, with an attached smart image map. I also have a bunch of town topics. I'd like to be able to link directly to the map, so that I don't have to go through the region topic every time I want to see a town's position on the map. Is this possible at the current time, or should I make a Feature Request? |

If there is a pin on the map which points to the town's topic, then you will have a reverse link available on the town's topic page to get back to the map.

Is there any way to link directly to a map from another map?
E.g., on the region topics map, can I link direct to a town map? Sleet was enjoying a tasty beverage at his local tavern, when a Tarrasque showed up in the local area. He managed to valiantly get on it's back and ride it. How he did it is a mystery to this day... RW: Engine Heart, I Love The Corps! Home Brew: Star Gate: Avalon, Monda Minutia.

Not yet. And not yet. Both suggestions have been made on the suggestions forum and hopefully they'll be included in the pending questionnaire so we can rank their importance.
Linking to smart images would be very helpful so you can use the same map for multiple entries. Linking maps to other maps would also be helpful so you can zoom from a large area to a more detailed map or building. |

At the moment, I've followed Farlings suggestion and placed a pin on the lower map to the upper topic so I can pop directly to the lower map to the upper topic.
Direct linking would be great, but I realise there is a lot of things they want to put in to RW. Sleet was enjoying a tasty beverage at his local tavern, when a Tarrasque showed up in the local area.

I want to get from the "Region" map straight to the "Continent" topic.

You can add a pin to your favorite corner of the map or next to the key for the continent to give it a link back. Breadcrumbs would be nice but this should provide the functionality you desire right now.
