You can create [[URI]]s to **navigate** to specific notes, headings, and even blocks within [[Obsidian]]. They can also be used to **create notes** and do other things too!
# URL to Open
To note:
`obsidian://open?vault=Notes&file=Obsidian%20URIs`
To Heading:
`obsidian://open?vault=Notes&file=Obsidian%20URIs%23URL%20to%20Open`
To block:
`obsidian://open?vault=Notes&file=Obsidian%20URIs%23%5Eabcde`
> [!hint] Blocks must be given IDs like so. `^abcde`
# URL to Search
`obsidian://search?vault=Notes&query=Obsidian`
# URL to Create
`obsidian://new?vault=Notes&name=my%20new%20note`
Supports:
- `content`
- `append`
- `overwrite`
- `silent` - creates without opening
# [[Shortcuts App]] Integration
You can use the `Open X-Callback` or `Open URL` command to do the things above from within Shortcuts. This opens up auto-tracking of stuff to a note. You can also have it auto-hit your daily note by inserting a formatted date into the URL. Like so:
![[screenshot 5.png]]
There the “%0A” is the URL-encoding for new line.
