[magnolia-dev] [JIRA] (MGNLUI-3464) Provide a way to navigate to a node in a tree based on a path

[JIRA (on behalf of Andreas Weder)]

Title: Message Title

Andreas Weder reopened an issue   I see the usefulness of such a feature: I get a path from a colleague and want to go to/select the item it names. I'd expect the feature to be somewhat clever: I give it a path inside an app and it selects the corresponding item. I give it a URL and it would find out the app to open and select the item the URL points to. I'm not sure yet how we would exactly offer this: I don't think this is as simple as adding a "go to path" action in every app. That would be one obvious implementation, but using the search field would be another, possibly more viable and powerful one: search detects, if a path is entered, then selects the corresponding item. This would also allow us to tie this into a global (i.e. cross app) search function we wanted to provide for some time and which lately is part of the "content pool" story arc. Yet another option would be to only offer such a (power user) function when the user presses a key - as a matter of fact, I did plan to bring a similar "goto" function as part of more advanced keyboard support: Unable to render embedded object: File (Excerpt from kbd support table.png) not found. So, this has to be properly researched and aligned with the next steps PM plans to take for the next major version(s). For sure, this will not make it into 5.5 - that train has already left the station. I do remember some similar sounding requests that seem to suggest that there's something bigger in the bush here, i.e. such a feature has quite some potential across the entire product. And I would not want us to just add a quick shot to the product, as the benefit of only a slightly more powerful option could be way higher. So, to summarize: yes, we should look into this. It has to be properly researched first. And for sure, this is not something we would add to the product this year still.
