Notes links

Nomad handling of notes:// links

Notes links (links using the notes:// protocol) can now be handled by Nomad if you register Nomad to be the protocol handler in the operating system. To assist in this enablement, Nomad includes instructions and relevant files in a sub-directory. For more information, see https://<mynomadserver>/nomad/noteslink/readme.html (for example, https://mynomadserver.mycompany.com/nomad/noteslink/readme.html).

Opening Nomad links in existing app window

When opening Nomad links from your web browser, the installed Nomad application will open if the navigation is performed in one of the following ways:

Clicking on an anchor with target="_blank" set: <a href="https://yournomadserver.com/nomad/#/notes://linktodb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Link to DB</a>
A click handler calls window.open(yourNomadLink, "_blank", "noopener");

Both of these methods allow the browser to open the PWA app window directly. You may also use web+notes:// links, assuming users have accepted the permission to use the web+notes custom protocol (see Web + Notes protocol for more information).
