Answer 1

I dont know why this question hasn't been answered yet.

It's pretty simple:

• Right click the item you want to add a link to and select "Edit Link"
• On the Edit Link modal, you can add an external URL, or link to another page from the same project* (which, I belive, was your case a year ago when you asked).
• Done.

To test your page, go to the "File" menu (top left), and select "Publish -> Link..." and then click "Create".

*Other pages from the same project will only appear on the list if you have created them on a different tab (tabs are at the bottom of the editor).

Answer 2

Since 2020-11-11:

draw.io / diagrams.net natively supports linking from any shape to other tabs:

• Right click any shape or text
• Select "Edit Link"
• Select the tab you want to link to in the second radio button dropdown
• Click "Apply"

The link will work in the view mode:

• Select Menu > File > Publish > Link
• Optional: Untick "Edit" to prevent editing for viewers
• Click "Create"
• Copy the generated link to share with others

Links in the viewer will be clickable
