Button press and hold

Press and hold capability for buttons with the ability to specify the length of the hold.
Also would be good to allow multiple press and holds of different lengths on the same button that go to independent destinations. Example press and hold button for 2 seconds goes to artboard a. Press and hold same button for 4 seconds goes to artboard b.

Wow! This request is over 5 years old and the hold interaction has become a basic pattern since then.

Why is it still not available in XD?!

This would be great, specifically around games on consoles. Press and hold is an alternative to just tapping, and also press and hold is sometimes best UX vs a tap, such as purchasing an item in-game, starting a game mode, etc.

Would be great to have this feature added!

It's been years since the request! I can't believe there's been no update with such a crucial feature!!!
That's one less user for you Adobe. Guess I have to look at other applications now :]

Yes please! I'd like to tap and hold to trigger an action, release to trigger another.
Like in an audio note.

As a game UX/UI designer, the 'Hold X' to confirm is a really common interaction for console.
