Will Modern Pages ever allow "Web Part Connections" (to link related lists)? How about "Filters"?
I've tested the new feature and the experience is once again very underwhelming.
So basically you can:
- Select a list item and see its properties (in a vertical lay-out, all fields under each other and yes another scrollbar inside your page).
- Select a document and see the file preview.
So no option to select a list item and (via a shared property) show all related documents in a library (you could do this in 10 years ago in classic pages).
Apart from this, I noticed you can use 'Page Environment' as a refiner source and select 'Query String'. I tried adding a few query strings but nothing seemed to work. Anyone an idea if / how this works?

Jeroen Lammens I completely agree. The added functionality is neat because its new and does something, but it's underwhelming at best. The ability to connect lists and have one list filtered by the selections in a related list is huge. I am surprised that this hasn't come out yet. Can anyone give an update or possible solutions that don't entail building it from scratch from spfx?
Jeroen Lammens I have the same questions. Tried to use the query string parameter but I just don't understand how it is supposed to work.

Hi Mark-Kashman and Luca Bandinelli
Can you provide an update on that? If not please try to find someone who could. Question still unanswered after many months.
I need to know if it will be possible to connect the embed web part to a URL parameter. And, if so when Soon :-),
This year :-| ,
Someday / Top of mind :-(
