This post is regarding a feature request I want to make. The feature is about being able to click on a hyperlink and able to navigate to that section on the same screen. Like how we have on websites where clicking on something scrolls the page and takes the user to a certain section. Similarly, something like a!sectionLink that takes the section label or some identifier as input and takes the user to that section on the same page.
This would be helpful when there are dense interfaces or long interfaces having a lot of scrolls. And as portals come into the picture, this can also be very well used on Appian portals as they are expected to have long scrolls.

hmmm.... i get where are you coming from. If im honest, my first thougt was. "but why are your interfaces so big"?Usually i am fan of a higher number of interfaces but with a limited amount of interaction/information per interface than just 1,2 very big ones.They become complicated to maintain especially the original designer is not available any more.Am i right, that this issue comes in general from the wish to navigate on large interfaces?
Yes. That is right. Sometimes, we tend to have like activity trackers/history timelines that do not look good with paging. Similarly, sometimes, the interfaces are intentionally kept long so the user can experience the feel of browsing through some feed.
hm...got it.... I Think it should be possible to jump to section or boxlayout.Perhaps with an additional parameter like "validationgroup" but than called "sectionName" per layout you try to jump to.
