Use URL schemes to open the file in devonthink with the default system app possibe?

[zeltak]

i all. I looked at Help > Documentation > Automation > URL Commands but could not undersatmd if this is possible.

all my word files live in DEVONthink (alongside many other files). 99% of the time linking to DEVONthink works perfectly. sometimes though i want to quick open a word file from another app (ie obsidian) to edit some text in a word file .
i can of course use the link ie (x-devonthink-item://1E3DDF6F-85B6-4704-9B7D-TESTTTTT), and then manually open from within DEVONthink.

But of course we are all lazy, and though is there a way to add a ?open coomand to the url to instead of just locating in DEVONthink would actually open the files directly in word (or the default defined app for that file extension)

is that even possible?

You’re welcome.

The very first sentence of the URL Commands section links to the Item Links section
