There should be an easy way to add an entity to a whiteboard.
Ideally there could be a form of drag and drop (of an entity from a view to the whiteboard) but I understand that might be quite hard to implement.
A quick win IMO that would address the same issue would be to simply be able to copy the UUID of an entity and then pasting that in the whiteboard should create a card for said entity.
Worth mentioning that a UUID is only guaranteed unique within a db, so it would be difficult to use it to create a whiteboard card.
Perhaps, copying the entity view url would work as an alternative…
Yes. Since the entity url is what gets pasted anyway and not the uuid itself, plus the url path is basically space\database\name-uuid I would assume this would work in pretty much all scenarios.
And even if it only worked in 99% of the cases due to some unforseen exception, it would still provide tremendous value as opposed to the current “search entity by name to add the card” approach.
