Many modern apps support app links, allowing users to open specific content directly. However, these links often have a problem: they are not supported by other apps, making it impossible to click and open them quickly. Cross-linking between applications is not as trivial as it may seem.
The IAnyLink project is designed to solve this problem. It can convert app links into regular web links (pretending an universal link)
Examples:
| App Link | Web Link | |
|---|---|---|
| Joplin | joplin://x-callback-url/openNote?id=note_id | https://benlau.github.io/l/u/am9wbGluOi8veC1jYWxsYmFj ay11cmwvb3Blbk5vdGU_aWQ9bm90ZV9pZA== |
| Obsidian | obsidian://open?vault=your_vault&file=YOUR_NOTE | https://benlau.github.io/l/u/b2JzaWRpYW46Ly9vcGVuP3ZhdWx 0PXlvdXJfdmF1bHQmZmlsZT1ZT1VSX05PVEU= |
| VSCode | vscode://file/your-local-file-path | https://benlau.github.io/l/u/dnNjb2RlOi8vZmlsZS95 b3vy-LWxvY2FsLWzpbGUtcGF0aA== |
| Mailto Link | mailto:test@example.com?subject=Testing out mailto! | https://benlau.github.io/l/u/bWFpbHRvOnRlc3RAZXhhbXBsZS 5jb20_c3ViamVjdD1UZXN0aW5nIG91dCBtYWlsdG8h |
