Direct access to embedded links via an authenticated application is described. In an example, a first user interface can be presented via a web browser of a computing device, wherein the first user interface includes an actuation mechanism corresponding to an object associated with a platform, and wherein the computing device is associated with an application associated with the platform. In at least one example, an indication of an interaction with the actuation mechanism can be received and based at least in part on (i) receiving the indication of the interaction with the actuation mechanism and (ii) a determination that the application is associated with an active authentication session, the object can be presented via a second user interface presented via the application. As such, direct access to the object can be provided via the authenticated application.

A system, method, and computer-readable media for dividing the content of a user interface for a group-based communication system among a plurality of windows. A parent window may comprise a plurality of panes. A child window may be created from the parent window by an actuation on a pane of the plurality of panes presented by the user interface. Child windows and the parent window may share computer memory. A plurality of windows may be created to divide the content of the user interface. Libraries designed for single window applications may be modified to work with a plurality of windows. The group-based communication system may be implemented via various web technologies.

Asynchronous collaboration via a communication platform is described. A message representative of an asynchronous meeting can be displayed via a user interface of a communication platform. The user interface can include an affordance to enable a user to add a snippet of content to the asynchronous meeting. In response to detecting an actuation of the affordance, an input user interface that includes an option to record or upload the snippet of content can be displayed. The snippet of content can be received from a client of a user associated with the asynchronous meeting and can be associated with other snippet(s) of content added by other user(s) associated with the asynchronous meeting. A preview summary of snippet(s) of content associated with the asynchronous meeting can be displayed in association with the message, wherein each snippet of content is viewable via a thread associated with the message.
