I use XD for lots of things, one is creating pdf's. It would be great to have a text link too so you can link text so it flows from one text box to another.

Also, the current letter spacing doesnt translate to design for web or other programs - wondering if we can make it the same, ie px spacing

One of the main features I missed in Sketch. I would love to see this.

Linking text between text boxes so that the overflow text continues in the linked text box (similar to InDesign).

Also having columns would be a HUGE time saver!

Yes, please! Make text automatic split into columns like sketch + the plugin "sketch-text-tools"! Make CSS3 possible to design in Xd.
