I happen to know who on the Confluence team is working on this feature. I'd DM you their contact info, but I guess I can't do that on here.

My email is mreiner@k15t.com. Send me an email and I'll pass it your way.

Hi @Pedro Braga,

as far as I understand you are talking about the "Link to placeholder (undefined page)" feature? As you can see on the Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap this is not yet implemented in the new editor, but is in the short term backlog and will probably be available soon:

And here is the issue where you can track this feature and/or vote for it. In this context it might also make sense to read this Community Article. :)

Cheers,
Sven
