A plugin for Obsidian

Documentation

Overview

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
  • open bookmarks
  • navigate to headings/blocks
  • automated search and replace in a file
  • call commands
  • edit and read from frontmatter
  • canvas movement
  • and much more

Please read the documentation for a detailed explanation.

Examples

Append content from the clipboard to today's daily note

obsidian://adv-uri?vault=<your-vault>&daily=true&clipboard=true&mode=append

Export a file to PDF by calling the command "Export to PDF" via its command ID

obsidian://adv-uri?vault=<your-vault>&filepath=<your-file>&commandid=workspace%3Aexport-pdf

Open heading in a file

obsidian://adv-uri?vault=<your-vault>&filepath=my-file&heading=Goal
