Is there a link we can use in all collections to navigate to its browse page?

I have been digging around on this page:https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-solution/help/hyperlinks.html but I can not find anything else than this:

"Linking to collections navto://collection/collectionname?openTo=browsePage"

Is it possible to combine it with navto://relative/parent - and have something like this:

navto://relative/parent?openTo=browsePage

"Te level above the article is always a collection". This isn't strictly true. You can get to articles via navto links, which puts an article above it in the user's navigation hierarchy.

There is no navigation method currently that is the equivalent of "show the browse page for this collection".

I'm still not sure that I understood that fully.

But other than that:

Don't you think that it's illogical that "parent" is not describing the parent element in the content structure?

I certainly wouldn't expect anything else.

It’s not illogical if parent is defined to describe the parent in the user’s navigation flow instead of parent in the content structure ☺

There are many ways to get into content and navigate around that do not follow the defined content structure in the portal. Navto hyperlinks can be used to create pretty much any navigation flow you can imagine, and that flow can be completely independent of how the content is structured in the dashboard.

I think the issue brought up in this discussion is that Navto hyperlinks cannot be used to create the, very imaginable, flow of going back to the parent in the content structure.

Is there a way to do that that we are overlooking?

As mentioned in this thread higher up, a way to guarantee that you can display the browse page for the current collection is not currently available.

But the navigation flow is linear and has no tree structure. Therefore I wouldn't expect a previous element in navigation history to be called navto://relative/parent but navto://relative/previous or something similar.

As espenmoe, I believe that a link to the parent browse page has to be created and if you do, how would you call it then without creating a lot of confusion?

It's not linear, it builds out a tree. Every time you tap on a card or a navto:// link to something outside of the collection it's a down navigation in a navigation tree that's being built as the reader navigates.

We'll come up with a name that won't be confusing Something like goto://browsepage or something, in keeping with what other goto navigation elements are for.
