New: Deep link a cell

[Jade_Roland]

Hi everyone,

I hope you’ve been well! I’m Jade, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’ve got an exciting new feature that is live in Airtable today - you can now deep-link to a specific cell!

Prior to this feature being released, users were only able to copy & share the record URL - this wasn’t ideal for bases with a high volume of fields per record. Imagine you want to share a single field with your colleague, but your only option was to copy an entire record with every field! Now with our new feature, you will be able to copy and share links to a specific cell. This simplifies the link sharing experience, as well as make it easier to navigate in a base.

Using this feature is simple - right click on the cell you want to share, and click “Copy cell URL”. Now when you navigate to the base using that link, you’ll be brought directly to that specific cell. This feature works in the grid view, as well as the expanded record.

Here it is in the expanded record:

And here is the grid view!

We hope you’re as excited about this feature as we are. We look forward to hearing your feedback so we can continue to make Airtable a better experience, together.

Very neat thanks! Any chance of having a function similar to expandRecord() for opening a specific field in a custom app? Does this exist and I’ve missed it? Would be useful for uploading attachments from a custom extension I’m building right now.

I had a chance to use this new feature today with a client, and it was EXTREMELY helpful! Yay!! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Hello @ScottWorld,
Today I’ve just used it to reference one of the clients.
It’s constructive.

How about using it kind of like a Lookup- so it simply shows the cell contents (at least in the same table)?

Can the URL be used to just show the cells contents?
