URL with target program marked as unsafe

Hello, 

Our writer uses Obsidian.md to write the game story. 

Naturally I wanted to easy the use of YouTrack for them by adding a “Design Element” custom field into the project. However, it appears that an URL like obsidian://open?vault=VAULT_NAME&file=FILE_NAME prepends “unsafe:” on the URL in chrome, making it unable to open the design element related to the issue.

I do also have to open the string field before I can open the URL inside the string, so my guess is that it's either not intended to have a URL custom field or I am missing something.

I am aware of the Wiki options available in YouTrack but from what I have seen Obsidian (and their Publish/cloud version) fits our usecase better.

 

Regards,

Torben

Hi Torben,

Support for URLs in string fields is limited at the moment. You can vote for a feature request for a dedicated URL field: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-69593.

For now, we'd recommend changing the field type to text and adding a link via markdown:

[obsidian://open?vault=VAULT_NAME&file=FILE_NAME](obsidian://open?vault=VAULT_NAME&file=FILE_NAME)

The link should be clickable after that. If Chrome still marks the link as unsafe though, please review your browser policies to see whether this can be turned off or consider switching to a different browser.
