Jump to a layer in a new slide
Is there a way to create a link to jump from slide A to any layer besides the base layer of a different slide?
Yes. You'll need to create a variable to track what layer you want to show. I suggest using a text variable.
On the starting slide, adjust the variable to a value based on whatever it is that decides what layer to end up on. For example: Adjust variable LayerChoice to "Layer1" when [this happens].
On the landing slide, add triggers to show each layer when the timeline starts based on the value of the variable. For example: Show Layer 1 when the timeline starts on this slide if LayerChoice = "Layer1." Show Layer 2 when the timeline starts on this slide if LayerChoice = "Layer2." Etc.
Note that a variable's value doesn't change until a trigger changes it. So, depending on other ways the user might arrive at the landing slide and whether or not the same layer should always show, you might need additional triggers, conditions, and/or variables to control the layers.
