Editing Files Not In My Vault

[Dor]

Have Obsidian be the handler of .md files / Add ability to use Obsidian as a markdown editor on files outside vault (file association)

A suggestion to have the possibility to make Obsidian the default app to open .md files, when accessing them in Finder. That would allow for very quick note-opening opportunities using Alfred. Simply open Alfred, type in the name of the note hit enter and have the note opened straight in Obsidian.

There are other relevant threads too.
atm Obsidian will only edit files in a vault.
But you can make a vault of any folder that holds files you want to edit.
