When viewing any OSM node with @MapComplete it displays QR code and a link so this exact focused place can be opened on a different device.

Is there a way to display any OSM node in mapcomplete given its ID without knowing what theme is suitable please?

Or similarly when looking at an OSM node, is there a way to construct a link mapcomplete can understand from its data?

Thanks for any hints you may have.

MapComplete

No, cause there simply might be no suitable theme for an #OpenStreetMap POI, or cause there might be multiple matching themes all with a wildly varying interpretation. A street might for example be opened with mapcomplete.org/maxspeeds , with mapcomplete.org/etymology or with mapcomplete.org/cycle_infra

Whoch should be used? Picking one at random would result in completely different views and facts

@MapComplete Thanks for the hints.

I am not sure I am understanding it correctly. I write down a node ID into the search locations edit field while the theme is already selected. It displays as a search result under Locations heading, however when using enter key to activate the search result it does not focus the node displaying its tags. Does it only scroll the node into a view in the map and should I still focus it manually then?

No, cause if you'd accept 'any' node, it would also _show_ any (and thus all) nodes. That would crash the visualisation.

Also: what 'questions form' would you show for any node? Ask for a name? Most nodes are just corners from a building or a street.

@MapComplete I don't really mean all the nodes that exist but rather my own set of them. I'm trying to come up with a little browser based app that uses overpass API to query near by points, the query is hardcoded with some variables. For example nodes that have one of the tags: amenity, name, highway, railway, waterway, leisure, shop... present and I have filters for them. Once user selects one of the points, I display its details and I'd like to add one of the actions the user can do with the chosen node or even a way if doable to open that in mapcomplete.
Perhaps you can remember a few weeks ago we had some follow up discussion after @Paweł Masarczyk made a presentation about maps, OSM data and screen reader accessibility for the blind and partially sighted. One of the open points at that time was an ability to select near by points of interest from a list rather than manipulating the map view as that would be easier on mobile. And I am just experimenting with that. In practice the points might be restaurants, fastfoods, pubs, bars, drinkingwaters, cinemas, theaters, libraries, cafees, crossings, parkings, bus stops, atms, banks, schools, kinder gardens, hospitals ... and a lot more that can serve as an orientation aid near by. If my thinking is not compatible with how mapcomplete operates, then I should just accept that and try to come up with a better idea, I just wanted to find and verify that.
