Yes, it is possible to create a jump link in Webflow that directly goes to a specific section on a page without scrolling through other sections. This can be done using Webflow's built-in interactions and anchor links feature. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Identify the section you want to create a jump link for. Give it a unique identifier by selecting the section and opening the Settings panel on the right. In the "Element Settings" tab, enter a unique ID in the "Element ID" field. For example, you can set the ID to "section1" for the first section.

  2. Create a link or button that will act as the jump link. Place this link/button in a different section of the page, such as the navigation menu or a separate section. Select the link/button and open the Settings panel.

  3. In the "Link Settings" tab, select the "Page section" option from the "Link to" drop-down menu. A new field named "Section" will appear below. Enter the ID of the section you want to link to. In this case, enter "section1" to link to the section with the ID "section1".

  4. Now, you need to create an interaction that will scroll to the target section smoothly when the jump link is clicked. Select the link/button again and open the Interactions panel.

  5. In the Interactions panel, click on the "+" button next to the "ACTIONS" section to add a new action to the interaction. From the drop-down menu, select "Scroll to" and choose "Section".

  6. In the "Element" field, enter the ID of the target section again. For example, enter "section1" to scroll to the section with the ID "section1".

  7. Customize the animation options as desired. You can set the duration, easing, and offset values to control how the page scrolls to the target section.

  8. Preview your site and test the jump link. When you click on the link/button, the page should scroll directly to the target section without scrolling through other sections.

By following these steps, you can create jump links in Webflow that allow users to navigate directly to specific sections on a page.
