Treat Symbols as Artboards

[philipp-lehmann]

This is an awesome plugin and I like a lot of your approaches.
Maybe I am missing something, but is there a way to include certain symbols as artboards in the prototype?

For example: We often use a 'base' artboard and convert it to a symbol. On other arboards we place this symbol and perhaps a message on top.

Let me know if you need further clarification?

Cheers

Please look at this example:

Before we also used a base artboard to show notifications. But we use another way:

1. create a symbol with some hotspot inside with "@reDIrect@" string in its name.
2. create an empty "Test" artboard , configure it as "Overlay" and place the symbol inside
3. customize symbol instance and link "@reDIrect@" hotspot to some real artboard which you want to see under a symbol
4. link some element to the ""Test" artboard.

Generate HTML to play with it.
