Jumping to specific \onslide

Question

I am making a presentation in Beamer using \onslide and using \hyperlink I can easily jump to the first \onslide environment on a different frame.

However, I would like to be able to jump to a specific \onslide environment on a different frame.

If the frame I would like to jump to looked like this

\begin{frame}
\onslide<1->{x}
\onslide<2->{y}
\onslide<3->{z}
\end{frame}

is there some way to jump to this frame, that will immediately show the content of the two first \onslide environments, but not the last one?

I have tried placing a hyperlink within an \onslide environment, but this hyperlink seems to apply to the entire frame.

always show a small but complete example. That makes it much easier to test a solution. — Ulrike Fischer, Sep 28 '21 at 17:09

\hypertarget is overlay-aware, so you can use \hypertarget<num>{<target>}{<stuff>}:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{First frame}
Jump to next frame: Slide \hyperlink{xxx}{1}, \hyperlink{yyy}{2}, \hyperlink{zzz}{3}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Second frame}
  \onslide<1->{\hypertarget<1>{xxx}{}x}
  \onslide<2->{\hypertarget<2>{yyy}{}y}
  \onslide<3->{\hypertarget<3>{zzz}{}z}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Above I set a blank target just to ensure the content isn't copied across the remainder of the slides within the same frame.

I have now implemented your suggestion, and it does exactly what I need. Thanks for your help. — Michael Falk, Sep 28 '21 at 21:27
