Yes, it is possible to display a specific static page in a modal without manually copying and pasting the content into it on Webflow. Webflow offers a dynamic embed feature that allows you to embed the content of a specific static page into a modal without the need for duplicating or reformatting the content.

Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create a modal element on your Webflow project. You can add a modal from the Add Panel by selecting the "Modal" component.

  2. Select the modal element and open the interactions panel by clicking on the "Interactions" tab in the right sidebar.

  3. In the interactions panel, select the trigger for your modal. This can be a button or any other element that you want to use to open the modal.

  4. In the interactions panel, create a new interaction for the trigger by clicking on the "+ New Interaction" button.

  5. In the interaction settings, choose the "Open Modal" action from the dropdown menu.

  6. Once you have set up the interaction, go to the modal element and add a dynamic embed element inside it. You can add a dynamic embed element by selecting "Dynamic" from the add element menu and choosing the "Embed" component.

  7. Configure the dynamic embed element by clicking on it and selecting the settings icon in the top right corner of the element. In the settings window, select "Embed Inside" and choose the specific static page you want to display in the modal.

  8. Save your changes and publish your site to see the modal in action. When you trigger the modal, it will display the content from the specific static page you selected.

By following these steps, you can display a specific static page in a modal without the need for manually copying and pasting the content. This allows you to keep the content centralized in one location and ensures that any updates made to the static page will be reflected in the modal as well.
