Allow opening sharing link outside the application

I can link to content in tagspaces (local computer link, not via internet) from within a local wiki (like obsidian)
I do this by copying the tagspaces sharing link en pasting it inside my text as url, giving it a name.

Requested functionality:
Later, Clicking on the that tagspaces-sharing-link url in my wikitext or somewhere else outside the tagspaces application, Tagspaces either opens the file directly, or goes to the result as if I had entered the link in the search window. (the chosen behavior is up to preference of the user and is configurable as setting)

Current workaround:
I need to extract the hyperlink url in my text wiki, copy the link address, open up tagspaces and past the link in the search window and open the file I want to see.

Suggested solution:
Please register the tagspaces application in windows to respond to clicking on a url with the following format ts://? making the sharing link available outside the tagspaces application .
Add the behavior as described in the requested functionality part.

Clicking on a tagspaces sharing link outside the application currently results in this:

I really need this feature
Especially in windows desktop , I can’t find a file manager app who can give one file or folder a specific link (URL Scheme : x-callback-url)

  • then I can paste this link to other app (like todo list , pkm note app), and I can click the link(auto-open the tagspaces , auto-jump to the path which the file/folder settings) when I want to review the docs.
    @ilian Please help us, help the feature, Please consider this. Thanks for my all. Its my all feeling.

Thanks for your reply. Its a good news for me today :laughing:

Was this already implemented? It’s not working for me.

Nobody there? Why would I consider to pay for this software if the support is 0???

This feature is no implemented yet, but if you use S3 locations you share files with other people. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Here is the documentation for the current sharing capabilities: Share files and folders | TagSpaces Docs

I would like to use links to documents in TagSpaces in other tools like OneNote, Notion, …

Currently:

  1. I create a link to a document en TagSpaces in the format ts://?..
  2. I paste this link into OneNote
  3. I click the link in OneNote
  4. TagSpaces opens
  5. I click the button “Open sharing links created with the TagSpaces…”
  6. A dialog opens requesting me to write the link into a text box
  7. I go back to OneNote
  8. In OneNote I go to the link and right-click
  9. I select “Copy Hyperlink”
  10. I go back to TagSpaces
  11. I paste the link into the text box
  12. I click the button “open link”
  13. The document opens

I would prefer this behavior:

Steps 1 to 3 the same
4. TagSpaces opens showing the document the link is pointing to.

This is how other applications like Evernote, OneNote, Obsidian,… work with their internal links
