Open ishanarora opened 10 months ago
Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!
This issue has not received any updates in 90 days. Please comment, if this still relevant!

What URI-patterns would you like to see added?
Ideally all valid URIs as defined in RFC 3986. The protocol shouldn't matter as the OS shell can be requested to open any valid URI
. Valid use-cases include linking an email (mid:
protocol) or a page in a personal knowledge management tool.
Problem Statement
Many desktop and mobile apps support their unique dedicated protocol prefixes for creating app specific URIs, e.g. for a specific note in a note taking app, or for a specific email thread in an email client.
When URIs are present in task description / notes, they appear clickable in the markdown rendering for only a small selection of web protocols, while all other URIs are not clickable.
:grey_question: Possible Solution
Make all URI patterns clickable. Additionally, perhaps add a right-click context menu with options to open the URI link, and copying the URI. ## :arrow_heading_up: Describe alternatives you've consideredEnter the inline markdown editor, and select the URI text, copy it, and open the URI through a third-party program. It works but it's inefficient, and prone to error when selecting the URI text i.e. not super-productive :smiling_face_with_tear:
