Use obsidian URLs to launch vault from command line:
$ open obsidian://path/to/Vault
When this vault is open, run again to open another window with a vault:
$ open obsidian://path/to/another/Vault
Second vault is openeed in a new window.
The first vault gets focus.
This is the first time that I hear this. I was aware of teh opposite problem!?!
@ksandvik I think that syntax is wrong, try
open "obsidian://open?vault=Obsidian%20Help"
When I tested, I was able to open multiple vaults this way…
@luckman212 is correct. You should use the /// with that notation.

Hmm, documentation says in the Shorthand formats:
obsidian://vault/my vault/my note is equivalent to obsidian://open?vault=my%20vault&file=my%20note
But I will switch to the vault parameter in case that fixes opening from cli.
you were not using obsidian://vault/my vault/myfile
you were using obsidian:///absolute/path/to/my note and it requires a triple slash.
Ah, triple slash, first time for me! Well tried it and it didn’t open the vault I expected from the path, rather the previous open vault. So the full path name with /// should respect the file path and open the vault referred to from the absolute path.
