Bringing this up again, since the topic was closed in 2023 without a solution…
When looking up a radical and its related kanjis, It would be great to have the link to the exactly same looking kanji as well, even if it was taught before the radical. The list of kanjis referenced for this radical is otherwise incomplete.
Yes please. This has also been a big gripe for me when I have lapses in either radical or kanji. I takes way too many clicks to find what I need (including having to remember if the radical or kanji was introduced first), which throws away so much momentum in my reviews.
I’d much prefer it to all be easily viewable in the dropdown while reviewing. While scripts like WK Vocab Breakdown exist, I would greatly appreciate having a more native implementation to make searching across the radicals, kanji, and vocab easier and more convenient.
@Mods what do you think?
Why do we need to get down radicals that have a meaning identical to their kanji in the first place? How were we able to get the kanji itself down without getting it down as a radical first? If we could do that, aren’t we already ready to see other kanji that incorporate it as a component? If WK believes in their algorithm, why do they think people need to see the same components again? It’s as if the thinking process is that we just need a certain number of days looking at radicals instead of kanji before we can learn real kanji, each level, so once we’re starting to recognize most of the components and there aren’t as many new ones left to slow things down with, we’re still forcing them a set number of them in just because.
I think what would be more helpful here (at least in the short term, without changing the underlying structure) would be simply for the item info of radicals to effectively work the same as kanji, but just with a special name and color.[1]
By that I mean, it never made sense to me why radicals don’t show the components like the kanji do. Even when their component radicals are listed in the description, there’s no section with a visual representation of them, nor are there any links to follow that can take you to them. That would be very helpful when solidifying various links in memory.
And, obviously, the “Found In Kanji” section would need to be kept the same, rather than being turned into the “Found In Vocabulary” section. And the “Reading” and “Meaning” sections could be left out…etc.
Anyway, I was just offering another way of looking at it. Whichever is easier to implement is all that really matters. ↩︎
It just makes sense that the kanji that the radical is based on should be there, imo in a tab like “found in kanji” or “similar kanji”. It might be a bit hard to implement this though. But that’s kind of a problem for the WK team 
I passed this on to the team—specifically the idea to add the kanji to the Found in Kanji section.
