Create native Node-RED link nodes quickly from the editor context menu, including across flow tabs.
Quick Link
node-red-contrib-quick-link
Quick Link creates native Node-RED link nodes directly from the editor context menu. It can connect nodes on the same flow or across flow tabs, including compatible multi-node selections.
Features
- Create links without manually placing and configuring link nodes.
- Connect to or from a marked node.
- Link one marked node with multiple selected nodes in a single action.
- Choose the source output when a node has more than one output.
Behaviour
- Right-click a node and choose Link > Link mark.
- Right-click a compatible destination and choose Link > Link to, or right-click a compatible source and choose Link > Link from.
The mark remains active after a link is created, allowing the same node to be used again. Choose Link > Link unmark on the marked node to clear it, or mark a different node to move it.
For a multi-selection, mark one separate node first and then select the nodes to connect. Link to connects the marked node to every selected node, while Link from connects every selected node to the marked node.
When a source offers multiple outputs, Quick Link shows the available output choices. Native destination nodes use their standard single input connection point and are shown as already selected.
Requirements
- Node-RED 5.0 or newer
- Node.js 22.9 or newer
