Well... you can't do it.

You can be sure it won't work, as the jump doesn't just load in (or generate) the system bodies etc, it also generates the static skybox. The skybox would need to be dynamic as you travelled across a system if you could move from one system to another in real time.
from the technical side, there are no issues. They can just do the same things as what happend when jumping, when you reaches the middle point between the systems.
The skybox can be generated in a background process and then updated in a blink - with those distances there will be very few differences to notice.

Sure, but that's not how it currently works. i'm not arguing at all that fdev couldn't, just that they didn't. For entirely sensible reasons as others have mentioned.
 
You can't go from one system to another in supercruise. You reach the marker but there is no star there.

If you want to try (why would you?) Ross 780 and Il Aquarii are somewhat the same travel time from each other as a run to hutton orbital.

Last week’s episode of the Mandalorian he was asked to travel to a system ‘sub-light” and I immediately throught.... that won’t work! (because it doesn’t in ED per OP) I might be too immersed here... getting my fictional universes all mixed up.
 
Hmm, what would happen if you flew to where the other system should be and then hyperspace jumped to it?

OK, I guess it would magically appear, but I'm not going to try. :p

It jumps as if you were close to your initial starting star. It doesn’t consider the distance you flew closer previously.

(yes because after my test run I had to jump anyway)
 
I wish it was possible but
it isn't possible.

I find long supercruise trips very immersive - nothing like approaching a star from afar. For now, travelling to a distant secondary star is a good enough surrogate for me.
