is there a way to link to a database item in such a way that it is opened with the external app for that file format, in a scenario where the link is followed from outside DevonThink?
Maybe there is some kind of suffix that can be added to the links, similar to how ?=reveal will reveal the item?
I don’t need this as a general behavior, just for specific links.
To clarify: What I would like to do is to open e.g. a PDF stored in DevonThink with Acrobat by clicking a link from outside of DevonThink. By default the item is opened in a DT viewer window
Yes, if such a parameter doesn’t exist yet, I’d like to suggest adding it
Probably something like ?=openext to open the link externally would be sufficient. This would do the same as selecting the item in DT and opening it externally
Wow, this is already implemented in the new 3.8.5 release that just came out! And even with the option to define a specific external app as @chrillek suggested.
That has to be a new record regarding time to implementation. Thanks for being so attentive to suggestions from the user community
