Links that cannot be opened now explain why.

Previously a link that failed did nothing at all, so a blocked link, a typo, and
a file that had been moved were indistinguishable. Each case now raises a notice:

  • A link that resolves outside its registered folder root.
  • A file that no longer exists at the resolved location.
  • A prefix that is not registered at all.
  • A prefix that is registered but has no folder path set on this device — the
    usual case when a link syncs to a machine you have not configured yet.
  • A malformed link.
  • A failure reported by the operating system, such as no application being
    associated with the file type.

Successful opens stay silent. There is no change to which links are allowed to
open, or to the link syntax.

Requirements

Desktop only. Obsidian 1.8.7 or later. Path conversion is Windows-format.

Privacy

No network requests, no cloud APIs, no telemetry. File contents are never read
or modified. The plugin accesses files outside your vault by design; that is its
purpose, and it is limited to roots you register yourself.

This plugin opens files and folders using your operating system's default
