DevonThink links in org mode?

DevonThink links in org mode?

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I discovered that "message:" links work great in org-mode (it opens the message in Mail.app). However, if I click on a link from DevonThink (which looks like this: x-devonthink-item://700A651C-E395-462C-873A-13FC92035FBD), I get a dialog which says "no match, create this as a new heading?".

Is there a way to tell org-mode to pass the resolution of this link to the system? (For instance, if I do a "open x-devonthink-item://700A651C-E395-462C-873A-13FC92035FBD" in a terminal window, things work as expected.)

Thanks a lot,

Alan

You want to check the "A.3 Adding hyperlink types" section of 
the manual:

Thanks a lot, that was most helpful. Here is what I ended up with, if it may help other people:

(org-add-link-type "x-devonthink-item" 'org-devonthink-open)

(defun org-devonthink-open (link)
	"Open the devonthink link."
		(start-process (concat "open " link) nil "open"
									 (concat "x-devonthink-item:" link)))

I created org-devonthink.el a long time ago:
