The command Go
→ To Document…
works great for searching by name. But it doesn’t work with item links.
Scenario: I’m work with two documents side-by-side in full screen/split screen mode. The note I’m reading in one pane contains a link to an item in my database. Now I want to open that item in the other window. Whats the best way to do it? Genuine question. I do not know.
In Finder, if I’m in a similar scenario with two windows open, I would select the item I want to go to, then use the default keyboard shortcut ⌥
⌘
C
to copy the path to the item. Then I would move my focus to the other window and hit ⇧
⌘
G
. It opens a dialogue box where I can paste the path, hit return
, and instantly go to the location. It’s very quick. Can I do something similar in DEVONthink?
My first instinct was to try to use the Go
→ To Document…
command in DEVONthink, similarly to my Finder workflow. But rather than using the path to the document, I figured I could use the item link. Alas this was not successful. Instead, I can highlight the text containing the hyperlink and Copy
it to my clipboard. But this is only useful if the display text of the link matches the item name.
