I want to add links to entries in DEVONthink and Papers to my org-files, but org doesn't understand links like papers://doi/10.1038/463860a or x-devonthink-item://6EB3DF6A-9B0D-4D26-A7D3-86D0B589E455 However, when I paste these links into my browser, the desired documents open in the respective app. Is there a way to add these "protocols" to the protocols org can handle? I looked into org-follow-link, but couldn't come up with a solution. Thanks! Christian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Can you get papers.app to open the link from the command line with 'open'? I figured it out the format with Together by using the "copy item link" command. You could also try dragging the link from the app to the terminal and see what it pastes. Or if none of those work, you can try do some applescripting to try to figure it out. >>>> >>>> In Terminal "open" works just fine with the papers://... link, and so does pasting the link into a browser.

If you send me the code you modified for papers.app and a small org file with a link in it, I'll take a look at it to see if there is something missing in the org setup. Also, which emacs and which org versions are you using? >> >> Please find attached the part of my .emacs where I put the modified code, and an org-file with links.
