Obsidian Advanced URI

Overview

Obsidian Advanced URI allows you to control many different features in Obsidian just by opening some URIs. Because they are just text and don't require any mouse clicks or keyboard inputs, they are perfect to automate your Obsidian workflow.

You can for example

• open files
• edit files
• create files
• open workspaces
• navigate to headings/blocks
• automated search and replace in a file

Motivation

I created this Obsidian plugin initially to load workspaces per URI. I even created a feature request on the forum to add that feature to Obsidian's own URI schema, but I ended up solving it myself with this plugin.

Since then, many new features were added (most of them from feature requests on GitHub). As today, I don't even use this plugin anymore, but I'm very happy that many others do, partly on a daily basis.
