Can List and Embed widgets interact in ArcGIS Experience Builder?

Answer

No, it is not possible to create interaction between the List widget and the Embed widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder. The List and Embed widgets perform different functions and are designed for different purposes. The List widget focuses on data display and interaction, while the Embed widget focuses on integrating external content, such as images, text, and links, which limits effective communication or interaction between the widgets. Refer to ArcGIS Experience Builder: Widgets for more information.

Alternatively, different types of widgets can be used to replicate the functionality and allow for interaction between widgets. The following are steps to establish interaction between the Map, List, and Filter widgets in ArcGIS Experience Builder.
