Yes, you can achieve a full screen HiRes image zoom action within columns or grids in Webflow using a combination of interactions and the lightbox feature. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Add an image element: Start by adding an image element to your column or grid. You can do this by dragging and dropping the image element from the elements panel onto your canvas.

  2. Set up the grid or column: If you haven't already, create a grid or column layout in the designer. This will help position and organize your elements.

  3. Adjust image settings: Select the image element and go to the settings panel. Upload your HiRes image and make sure it is positioned and sized correctly within the column or grid.

  4. Add interactions: Select the image element again and go to the interactions panel. Click on the '+' button to add a new interaction. Choose the trigger that you want to use, such as a click or hover.

  5. Configure the zoom effect: In the interaction settings, choose the 'Zoom' animation. Adjust the scale, opacity, and duration to your desired settings. This will create the zoom effect when the trigger is activated.

  6. Add a lightbox link: To enable the full-screen view of the image, you will need to add a lightbox link. Select the image element and go to the settings panel. Under 'Link settings', choose 'Open in lightbox' and select the HiRes image as the lightbox media.

  7. Preview and test: Save your changes and preview your website. Test the zoom effect by clicking or hovering over the image. The image should zoom in and open in a full-screen lightbox when clicked.

By following these steps, you can achieve a full screen HiRes image zoom action within columns or grids in Webflow. This feature can help create an engaging and interactive experience for your website visitors.
