To link each specific item in your collection to its corresponding pop-up in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a collection: First, you need to create a collection in Webflow. A collection is a group of items that share the same structure or design. For example, if you have a collection of products, each product would be an item in the collection.

  2. Design your pop-up: Next, design the pop-up that you want to display when a user clicks on an item in the collection. You can use Webflow's visual designer to create the layout, add content, and define the interactions.

  3. Set up the dynamic list: In your main page or template, add a dynamic list element to display the items from your collection. This dynamic list will automatically generate the necessary HTML elements to display each item in the collection.

  4. Create a link block for each item: Within the dynamic list, create a link block for each item in the collection. You can use a text link or any other element you want to use as a trigger for the pop-up.

  5. Add a click interaction: In the link block settings, add a click interaction. This will determine what happens when a user clicks on the link block. Choose the "Show" action and select the pop-up you designed in step 2. This will make the pop-up visible when the link block is clicked.

  6. Bind collection data to the pop-up: Lastly, you need to bind the collection data to the pop-up so that each item in the collection has its own content in the pop-up. In the pop-up settings, open the "Binding" panel and choose the collection and the specific field that you want to display. You can use dynamic expressions to show different fields based on the item that was clicked.

By following these steps, each specific item in your collection will be linked to its corresponding pop-up in Webflow. Users will be able to click on a link block, triggering the pop-up and displaying the content specific to that item.
