[feature request] browser URL handler for obsidian://

Open craziedde opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Hello,

Your obsidian plugin works flawlessly for me. I have huge request which is totally outside of your plugin functionality But I'm still going to ask you to implement this as I just don't know who else to ask :)

Browser URL handler for those links → obsidian:// Particularly for Windows → Edge/Chrome

Doesn't Obsidian already implemented this? GitHub prohibits custom protocol URLs so it won't work on GitHub, but on normal pages (including GitHub Pages) it should work fine.

Yes, If you paste obsidian://url into URL bar of your browser and hit enter, it will work But if you put your link into any type of web tool within the browser (example google calendar) it will not recognize it as a link

Example screenshot attached below: image

EDIT: I'm ok with ANY type of hackish workarounds for this issue... As long as it becomes clickable

So what you're asking for is automatic hyperlinking. You can install this Greasemonkey script: AutoLinker

Thank you so much for quick reply. This greasemonkey script did not work for me in some Microsoft products (tested: Google Calendar AND Google Keep) But it put me into right search direction and found this browser extension that I think will work in my use-case
