Obsidian web browser supports obsidian uri

Use case or problem

I’m using obsidian to build my own system with some web applications. Although the browser can open obsidian uri, the web application will not recognize obsidian uri as a link, so I converted obsidian uri to https uri and it works.
The problem occurs when I want to use the “web browser” in the core plug-in, I find that it can’t open the https uri converted from obsidian uri. It can’t even open obsidian uri.

Proposed solution

Core plugin - “web browser” supports access to obsidian URIs

Current workaround (optional)

The community plugin “Surfing” can support this functionality, but I would prefer not to use an extra plugin.

Is this just a problem on my machine?

It’s confusing that the built-in browser of obsidian can’t open obsidian URIs. Hope the developers can consider solving this problem. Anyway, thanks to the obsidian team for their great work.

Hello z1x, a question a bit offtopic,
How do you convert obsidian uri to https uri?
Those can be opened from webapps from browsers? I struggle with that.
Sorry to divert the thread.

This approach was suggested to me by AI: you can use a URL shortening tool like TinyURL to convert an Obsidian URI into an HTTPS URI.

It’s a great approach. Most web apps only recognize HTTPS URIs, so this conversion lets you seamlessly connect web apps with Obsidian. This way, Obsidian can act as a local content hub that interacts directly with online tools, creating a more integrated system. For example, you could use URIs to open Obsidian directly from webApps like Notion, Habitica, Raindrop.io, or an online calendar—pretty much any web app you use.

I haven’t tested this on mobile, as I mainly use this workflow on my computer, and it works perfectly for my needs.

Thank you! Great solution. I didn’t thought about it, but it makes absolute sense.
I was overcoming the problem with this site is a bit different from a shortener. https://spx.vercel.app/, works well, and the address is not hardcoded or obfuscated.
I’m still reluctant to use it, for future-proof and privacy.

You make me think to run my own URL Shortener, I’ll explore that solution.
Thank you!
