Add markdown link to local file or directory

[msmart]

I would like to add a link to a local file or directory in markdown.

When clicking on the rendered version of this (on version 2.3.4/Ubuntu)

[abc](file:///home/test/file.pdf)

a new empty Standard Notes window is opened:

I suspect this use case is not yet supported by Standard Notes and no correct handler for outgoing links has been defined. However, it might be a nice feature to have.

Hmm..haven't tested this use case yet. In any case, a new window definitely shouldn't be opened. Should either open the file, or if it's not supported, at least display an alert. Will need to investigate this. Thanks for the heads up!

Which markdown editor were you using when this happened? I'm unable to reproduce this..

I clicked on the link in the preview mode of the "Advanced Markdown Editor" (Version 2.3.4/Ubuntu). Clicking on the link on the Android app doesn't do anything (which is probably more desirable).

Hmm that's strange. I just tested on the Adv Markdown Editor and it correctly opens the file. But I'm on Mac. I'll have to test this on Linux next time I'm in there.
