Embed File Menu
Native right-click file operations for embedded attachments in Obsidian.
Why Embed File Menu?
When you embed attachments (![[archive.zip]], ![[installer.exe]], ![[report.pdf]], images, or audio) inside your notes or callouts, interacting with the underlying file on your disk usually requires hunting it down in the sidebar first.
Embed File Menu adds a lightweight, zero-config context menu directly to any embedded file—letting you reveal, locate, or copy the actual file to your system clipboard in a single click.
Features
| Action | Description | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Show in system explorer | Highlights the file directly in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, or Linux File Manager. | Desktop |
| Reveal in vault | Opens and highlights the file inside Obsidian's built-in File Explorer sidebar. | Desktop & Mobile |
| Copy file | Copies the actual file object to your OS clipboard—paste it (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) directly into Telegram, Discord, email, or any folder. |
Desktop |
| Copy file path | Copies the absolute system path of the file to the clipboard. | Desktop & Mobile |
| Copy folder path | Copies the absolute system path of the parent directory. | Desktop & Mobile |
Linux Clipboard Support: To copy binary file objects on Linux, the plugin automatically detects your session type and uses
wl-copy(Wayland) orxclip(X11).
