I use a lot of links to aid users in jumping from one interface to another, with the links having the RecordID baked in so that the jump brings you to the same record on that new interface. This allows for workflow specific interfaces and quick navigation.
However there is a couple interfaces that are not letting me do so that i am wondering if there is a workaround or feature im missing?
Would love to have a built in feature on the interface buttons to include an option of "Open Interface page with selected record"

To improve navigation between interfaces in Airtable using links with embedded RecordID for jumping directly to the correct record, here are some solutions:
1. For Timeline Interfaces: Airtable doesn't currently support opening a specific record's bubble popup or sidesheet via URL parameters. As a workaround, you could use manually generated links via the "link to record" button, although this isn't dynamic. Submitting a feature request to Airtable for more URL parameter controls could help in the long term.
2. For Grid Interfaces with Subtasks: The current workaround using search-generated URLs isn't always accurate. Instead, consider using custom scripts or automation buttons to create dynamic navigation that filters records precisely. This approach provides more control and consistency in your interface navigation.
By exploring these solutions, you can enhance user experience and streamline workflows in Airtable.
