Prototype 'Transition Options' in property inspector instead of in a popup
The current UI for transitions is clunky and flows awkwardly. Every time I try to link to something lower on the page, the pop-up box appears below the 'fold'/screen and I have to move the artboard into view and re-click on the 'from' element to get the pop-up to appear. You've already trained the users to use the side-panel (right) to change elements in the design view, I think it makes sense to place the transitions in the same spot. It would greatly simplify the flow, as well as returning to edit transitions.
We’ve recently introduced a property inspector in our prototype mode. Check it out!

When you link two artboards together during prototype, you get options for what type of transition to make, right? yes
the problem is that right now, those opens comes up in a way that is similar to context menus when you right-click on an item using your pc. but unlike the prototype options, when you right-click on an item close to the edges of your pc display, the context menu appears in a position where it doesn't get clipped off by the screen and you can see and interact with the full menu without problems. However, in the case of prototype options, they just pop out anyhow, anywhere with complete disregard for where my PC display ends, so if I link an artboard which is at the bottom of my screen, for example, the options pop up showing me like trigger and destination only, while the rest is beneath my screen. I attached s screenshot for better understanding
the solution I think is to either make the prototype options adjust to the screen viewable space, or since prototype options are growing each month, simply have a sidebar (like the properties bar in design mode) that will replace the context menu style options.
