Open note link from other apps

[jakemkc]

Current behavior

When I right click on the note and select "copy note link", the link only works within Boostnote.

Is it possible to make the links work across different apps?
e.g. in nvalt and things, their url links look like this:

nvalt://find/hello
things:///show?id=50C68809-9697-43AE-B7DE-A25D742EC16A

If I make a link "nvalt://find/hello" in Boostnote, I can click on it and it will bring me to the "hello" note in nvalt.

Expected behavior

Steps to reproduce

Environment

• Version : 0.11.5
• OS Version and name : MacOS 10.13.3

It is impossible to you said in Boostnote...
However, I feel it is great feature request.:+1:

@jakemkc Would you please try in 0.11.6 again? We discussed this url scheme things in #2003 . I guess 0.11.6 can handle your case.

Boostnote can open links such as nvalt://find/grocery_list. This works well in my computer.

However my question is to have boostnote creating url note link such as boostnote://find/grocery_list that other programs can read. Say I enter the link in firefox, it will run boostnote and bring up the "grocery_list" note.

I think this blog discusses a similar problem.. https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/electron-app-with-custom-protocol/ maybe we can "steal" their solution :)
