hey there, I have a sidebar which is a main component that is linked to all frames. I am trying to figure out how to have it so I can also navigate to the same page/frame. the problem it creates is that i cannot have that particular page accessible on any frame using the same component
the main component is located in the home frame

Sorry, just to clarify - you have the main component in a frame representing a page or is it somewhere else and you have instances of it in all pages?

i have the main component on the homepage right now, and the components are copied to the other pages
this is what it currently looks like
those direct to their designated frames
the solution i have found but sounds very inefficient is going into each frame and altering the copied component to direct to the home page
maybe this will help clarify some things
^ this is an altered component
^ this is the main component
this is the interaction page on the main component frame, i cannot open the homepage overlay

Ah I see what you're doing.
Try decoupling the main component from the page, just set it outside of the frame and then connect the home wire. Once all the wires are connected drop an instance of it on each page, that should work!
So basically:
Generally speaking main components should not be tied to a page. Creates some weird behaviors in prototypes & also managing libraries gets tougher when you need to chase the mains down!
