i am developing a modal system in my application, and i want to define a taxonomy for different archetypes of modals.
so far I have:
utility modals: those which are invoked only briefly, are generally smol + direct, and aren't addressable via URL
detail modals: those which are invoked to support a deeper workflow (e.g. editing a record, display medium-length content) and are presented as 50vw flyouts. may or may not be addressable via URL
the thing I want to come up with a name for is: "detail modals that can be invoked from more than one context and may have differing URLs based on the invoking context"
e.g.
- detail modal supporting
OperationA
onRecordB
, launched fromContextA
vs.
- detail modal supporting
OperationA
onRecordB
, launched fromContextB
i'm specifically looking for a succinct "name" for these types of Context Aware Detail Modals
(this being my current "best name")
would love to hear your thoughts on if there's something more clear to describe this behavior
