List with background image? Or hero with dynamic text?

Hi community!

I have hopefully an interesting problem - I would like to have a hero with dynamic text to display a personal welcome message on my homepage (“Welcome back {User Name}”). But as far as I can see heros don’t link to Airtable data.

How I have got around this so far is by adding a conditionally filtered list above which displays my personalised message to each user. But this creates a bad look from a design perspective. I’d really love to have the picture underneath both my hero and my welcome message.

I reckon I can probably create a custom code block with that image as the background picture, then put both the list and hero elements in it, but some pointers on how to get there would be appreciated! Pic below (logos etc redacted).

Hey @adamnewton,

Please check this workaround, perhaps this will be a good one for you.
