I followed @RasmusM’s instructions for Mac users above.
That worked like a charm. Never knew there was a “Copy Obsidian URL” in Obsidian mouse right click on a note!!! Fantastic!! Thank you!!
The magic that worked is:
// If you want a Note to open directly, use the full URL
// you get from right-click and Copy Obsidian URL on
// the Obsidian note.
// Eg:
open "obsidian://open?vault=TheVaultName&file=TheNoteName"
// If you want to open the vault as is (last state, with your
// last note that was working on, just use the vault from that
// URL constructed as mentioned above.
// Eg:
open "obsidian://open?vault=projects"
//Notice how the part after the '&' sign that is related to the
// file name (aka the Note name) is now gone.
Just to add a bit more, the Mac open command can be used to
open a specific application URL or the application itself from the
command line.
// Following opens the application (-a option)
open -a obsidian
// Now the URL, to open the application and issue a command
open "obsidian://open?vault=projects&file=MyHubNote"
Enjoy!
Update on 01/03/2025:
I’ve tried this method for such a long time, but find it is better if any folder can be opened with Obsidian via the terminal, so that Obsidian can be used to do its job - to manage a great documentation!
