Deep Link to Open Tag?

Community Support

Is there a way to create a deep link that will open a tag? I know there is a way to do a specific card.

Seems like it could be useful to have to link to a custom collection when that’s available.

Hi @Itsben,

Do you mean an external link that will open supernotes and filter by a certain tag? Such as supernotes:///?tag=definition. This doesn’t exist currently.

Or are you more looking for Inline tags, which you can click similarly to tags on the bottom of a card to filter by a certain tag?

Custom collections will have urls that you can use to link to them externally outside of Supernotes. Such as my.supernotes.app/v/collection/tasks. I hope that helps!

Such as supernotes://?tag=definition . This doesn’t exist currently.

Yep this is what I was looking for. I use the card deep links to link to a card from other apps - and so similarly I was hoping to do the same with tags.

Custom collections will have urls that you can use to link to them externally outside of Supernotes. Such as my.supernotes.app/v/collection/tasks.

Just curious will those open in the app? I use the iOS and Mac apps exclusively - curious if that would trigger it opening in app (if one is installed)?

Thanks for the info

So now that custom collections are released, I think that is probably the way to go. You can create a collection for that specific tag and then link to it like you would any other view, e.g.

https://my.supernotes.app/v/collection/2cd431a4-2cde-4119-850e-5b7a13f8d87f

You can also use the new “open.supernotes.app” domain to deeplink to the desktop/mobile apps if you wish, like so:

https://open.supernotes.app/v/collection/thoughts

The bonus of using open.supernotes.app is that it will fallback to the web app if the caller does not have a “native” app installed. However it does of course require an internet connection. Normal deeplinks do not require this, but do nothing if a Supernotes app is not installed.

@connor thanks for that potential solution. That would certainly work.

It’d need it to be an app link though - a lot of apps where I’d want to link it open up their own in-app browser and that doesn’t seem to work (it presents a web log in page each time).

Can I create a deep link to a custom collection? Also is there a way to find that collection ID in the app?

Currently there is not an easy way to get the collection ID from within the app. However if you open the collection on the web, the collection ID will be in the URL bar, and then you can use that with a supernotes:/ style link.
