I have a single draw.io file (desktop version).
I want the first page to be a "high-level" flow chart of a bunch of process blocks. 
Then, I will add new pages within the file to describe the individual flow of each of these process blocks. 

I want to link the blocks on the first page, so that when I click them, it takes me to whichever page describes that block. 
I know you can link a URL to a webpage, or even another file, so it could be done like this...
but I plan on going back and forth between pages quite quickly and frequently, and since the file is technically "one single process", I would rather have all the subprocesses live in the same file,
rather than having many individual files for each that link back and forth...
So simply creating several different draw.io files defeats the purpose here. 

Is it possible to link to pages within a single file??? If not, this needs to be developed asap.

It would also be nice if there was a cleaner way to click links in general... such as a "ctrl + click" on the block, rather than needing to click the drop-down hyperlink text

Off-page connectors are not currently implemented. I've added a feature request at https://draw.uservoice.com/forums/266072-feature-requests/suggestions/17678779-add-off-page-references, please feel free to vote on it.

There's another request too about that. Let's vote in both of them so that maybe they will add this. https://draw.uservoice.com/forums/266072-feature-requests/suggestions/17309632-enable-one-to-link-bpmn-subprocess-to-pages-in-a.
