Launch an xdg-open custom URI

[canadaduane]

The https://obsidian.md app (flatpak) registers its own mime type, obsidian://.... From the CLI, I can launch Obsidian with an open search page, like so:

$ xdg-open obsidian://search?query=journal

I can add a launcher config entry, like so:

$ sudo vim /usr/lib/pop-launcher/plugins/web/config.ron

#
#    (
#       matches: ["j", "journal"],
#       queries: [(name: "Journal", query: "obsidian://search?query=")]
#    ),
#

However, the launcher seems to open a browser to https://obsidian://search?query=.

Is this intended behavior?

It's not. Would you like to also patch this?

[mmstick]

I guess it's kind of weird for the web plugin to be used for non-web URIs.

[canadaduane]

Is there another plugin that would be better suited to this kind of URI?

[canadaduane]

Since the web plugin does use xdg-open already, it does seem very adjacent. I will look into patching unless you feel it does not belong here.

[mmstick]

There's not another plugin

The above PR gets a step closer to my goal; however, I've now discovered a new impediment:

Jan 10 20:45:32 rosie gnome-shell[15076]: got query: obsidian://search?query=test
Jan 10 20:45:32 rosie systemd[3774]: Started app-flatpak-md.obsidian.Obsidian-15102.scope.
Jan 10 20:45:32 rosie gnome-shell[15111]: /app/bin/obsidian.sh: line 27: echo: write error: Broken pipe

I'm still investigating, but it appears something is not long-lived enough for this to work as-is.

(Obsidian does not open).

Update: Line 27 appears to be an "echo" statement in obsidian.sh: https://github.com/flathub/md.obsidian.Obsidian/blob/master/obsidian.sh#L27

Fixed in #155
