Linking Docs to MDX removes the Storybook Viewer.

[vinceclicks]

Can anyone tell me if this feature is supposed to close the SB viewer in Angular?

If I use this link to go from the stories doc page to an MDX file in the same folder, It opens a new page with the MDX shown but without the storybook viewer.
List Item MDX

The page it goes to is http://localhost:6006/iframe.html?id=basin-components-list-item-list-item-mdx--page&viewMode=story

There is no list of stories to the side or controls below, no window into viewing the page, just the MDX page itself. I would like to be able to link the two without completely removing the viewer from Storybook

I have the same issue.

I'm also running into this problem.

If I specify the markup like this:

[FormControlService](/docs/components-form-control-services-formcontrolservice--page)

The output looks like this:

<a href="?path=/docs/components-form-control-services-formcontrolservice--page" target="_top" class="sbdocs sbdocs-a css-19nbuh3">FormControlService</a>

And generates the following link (running locally):

http://localhost:4400/iframe.html?path=/docs/components-form-control-services-formcontrolservice--page

If I were to manually change the href to add a / before the ?, the link works almost perfectly except it causes a full page reload, but I can't seem to find a way to write the markup to make it work. I always get an extra ?path= prefixing anything I do.

I also noted a difference depending on where I specific the link. If I have it directly in the mdx, the link works fine (unless you try to open in a new tab as described by #9502), but if it's in markdown linked using <Description markdown={myMarkdown} /> it behaves as the OP describes.

This issue continues to exist. Is the storybook development team aware of this navigation issue with their platform?

Also: #9502

Edit: Will be looking into if this issue persists in 7.0

I have created a test for internal linking for storybook 7.0 using beta 48 as this issue seems to persist there.

• Test Repo: https://github.com/dimitrieh/Test-Storybook-7-Internal-Linking
• Live URL: https://dimitrieh.github.io/Test-Storybook-7-Internal-Linking (behaved differently than the one locally spun up in dev mode)
• Loom video: https://www.loom.com/share/cc3a9260fe4a4adebc66e0cb63557323

Any plans on fixing this?
