Hello all

 

First time post, short time user :)

I have a page a with a list of definitions in it. Ideally I am looking for following functionality:

  • The ability that anytime a word appears on another page, and that word has a definition on the definition page, it is automatically linked to that definition
  • The ability to hover over that word and view the definition of that word
  • The ability to click the word (with the definition), and see all pages that linked to that word.

This is almost exactly what Atlassian Intelligence offers - the ability to define terms and use them across products. You can read more about it here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/define-terms-using-atlassian-intelligence/

Hi @Rhyder Key 

You may want to check Suprasync by Supradoc. Since you're on Free Confluence and the app is free for up to 10 users.... :)

Hello @Rhyder Key ,
Welcome to the Community !

Let's have first case, wherein the pages get listed having those 'definition'/'word'

You can have a automation that would run as when a page is published; to check if page content contains the definition (specified terms/syntax/text), then add a label to that page. (You may need to have if/else condition with all text to search).

And now in your original list page, have list of definition (Expand macro) macro to list all the pages (filter with label macro) based on labels. Only case here is, you have to maintain that lables automation and new label should be added to your original listing page.

For the HOVEN with definition - that's not possible with native functionality.
