Attempted Debugging

  • I have read the debugging page

Searched GitHub Issues

  • I have searched GitHub for the issue.

Describe the Scenario

When adding a link to a drawing (using drawing.io) the links will not work once the page is saved. Looking for a way to make this work.

Would be very helpful when creating networkdiagrams to be able to go to the website directly.

Exact BookStack Version

v23.08

Hi @CentioRS,
We don't currently support links within drawings (or other interactivity) since we convert and use drawings as standard PNG images. A request to support links within drawings is already open in #1170 so I'll close this off in favor of that.

Somehow I missed #1170. Sorry for that. Will keep on eye on it,
