To trigger and move an independent non-selected element with one click on Webflow, you can use Webflow's Interactions feature. With interactions, you can create custom animations and interactions without writing any code. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the element that you want to trigger the interaction. This element could be a button, image, or any other clickable element on your Webflow site.

  2. In the right-hand panel, go to the "Interactions" tab.

  3. Click on the "New Interaction" button to create a new interaction.

  4. Choose the trigger for your interaction. In this case, you'll select the "Click" trigger option.

  5. Next, choose the element that you want to move. Select the element from the Dropdown menu in the "Affect different element" section. If the element you want to move is not available in the list, you can add a class to it and select it using the class selector.

  6. Once you've selected the element, you can specify the animation or movement you want to apply to it. You can choose from various options like move, rotate, scale, etc.

  7. Specify the distance or angle of movement in the animation options. You can also set the duration and easing of the animation to customize the effect.

  8. Preview your interaction by clicking the "Preview" button in the right-hand panel. You can test the animation to make sure it's moving the desired element correctly.

  9. Finally, save and publish your site for the interaction to be live on your website. You can also add more styling or effects to enhance the overall interaction.

By following these steps, you can effortlessly trigger and move an independent non-selected element with just one click on Webflow.
