Obsidian URI links

Obsidian URI links can be used to open notes in Obsidian either from another Obsidian vault or another program.

For example, you can link to a file in a vault like so (please note the required encoding):

[Link to note](obsidian://open?path=D:%2Fpath%2Fto%2Ffile.md)

Link to note

You can link to a note by its vault name and file name instead of path as well:

[Link to note](obsidian://open?vault=MainVault&file=MyNote.md)

Link to note

Escaping

If there are spaces in the url, they can be escaped by either using %20 as a space, such as:

[Format your notes](Format%20your%20notes)

Format your notes

Or you can enclose the target in <>, such as:

[Format your notes](<Format your notes>)

[Format your notes](Format%20your%20notes.md your notes>)
