Document Link Questions

I have two questions about using a document link that starts with: x-devonthink-item://5A4…

  1. Can I use this link to search for the file in DT3? I tried using DT3’s search bar and the mac search bar without any results.

  2. Is there a way to link a document from DT3 to a Google Sheets document? Google Drive is not indexed in DT3 nor is it downloaded on my computer. It is something I cannot do because of space on my mac.

The search doesn’t support this but after clicking on the link you could reveal the document to show it in the database.

3

Google Sheets don’t support URL schemes like ours. They are intended for use with standard URLs.

That’s interesting. The link does not appear as hypertext in my file, which is a Microsoft Word document, so that is why I did not click on it. But I tried from within DT3, Control-Mouse Click> Open URL, and it worked. Thanks. Hiding in plain sight!

Thank you. I received the same message when I tried that, but thought I might be missing something.
