Bug Description

While experimenting with things, i came across two places where i wanted to stick a link to an external resource (someone's patreon profile), and to a Reference (specifically, the contents of the CC-BY license). As it is, we can put a Textarea on those and add in a text link, but it would be much handier (as well as less involved and just generally more pleasant looking) if we could just slap a Jump there and point it at the appropriate address.

The specific location is the end panel of Pepper and Carrot Episode 3, which looks like so: https://www.peppercarrot.com/0_sources/ep03_The-secret-ingredients/low-res/en_Pepper-and-Carrot_by-David-Revoy_E03P08.jpg (for the full comic, see https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article241/episode-3-the-secret-ingredients where that panel is right at the end).

Hope this makes sense, and thanks again for coming up with ACBF! :)

Hi,

Jump element was supposed to be used for non-text objects originally. And thinking about it now, instead of page attribute, href with reference to an id (of a page, frame ...) would be better.
Page attribute is mandatory in current specs. However, I don't think anyone has ever used this element yet.
I think the solution would be to add href in next version of specs and make choice of one of these mandatory. Page could be deprecated then.

Cheers

Yes, that's what i was thinking (about the jump object being for non-text things) - it was specifically that CC-BY license thing that struck me on that page, it would make a lot of sense specifically for that one, just because well... it just looks silly to stick a pure-text type thing over the top :)

Yeah, deprecating the page parameter and adding a href sounds like a good idea, make it nice and consistent with how other linky things work, and there's nothing quite like consistency in a spec to make me happy :D
