Will Modern Pages ever allow "Web Part Connections" (to link related lists)? How about "Filters"?
I fully agree with those asking for this functionality and I am getting extremely frustrated by the lack thereof. Microsoft, please re-introduce this quickly to the general audience!
At the same time, this looks promising:

The File Viewer and Embed web parts have the connect functionality in my work organization. Not lists though. Yet ...
Correction: List Properties have connections. But this is not achieving what I need. I need connected lists, i.e. one list displaying items, depending on the choice in a separate list. Not just the details of a list, based on the selection in the same list. 😞
RoundaboutSkid I agree with you and am still waiting on the ability to connect lists and filter one based on the selection from the other. This is disappointing 😞
How is this still not rolled out??? I have end users asking about this. We have to still go back to classic mode to accomplish this? PowerApps creates too much administrative overhead for something like this, and is quite frankly harder to explain and support. This thread has almost 10,000 views!
DFRJC , actually, within the last month or so, the ability to connect list/library web parts has rolled out. This works as well as the same function in "classic" pages. However, I still (often) miss the "Filter" web parts for things like creating template pages that can dynamically update from a URL query string, date or user filter. We have a number of departments that have lots of content (documents, links, pages) related to a set of projects or keywords, so those template pages made it really convenient. Without a URL query string filter, we basically need to create a page for each project or keyword and set up highlighted content web parts or list views on each. One by one. It's quite tedious.
