App links let us bookmark pages in the app and link to those pages from other apps. They start with the sos:// scheme and are followed by the path to the page.
If you use a note-taking tool, perhaps like Obsidian, and want to link to a login password in the app it's now possible using app links! This page describes how to copy app links to your clipboard so you can bookmark pages and then goes into more detail on how to create links by hand.
App links are available starting in version 1.12.0 (build 120).
Quick Start
If you want to try it out quickly, on desktop you can right-click (or long-tap on mobile) any item in the menu (except Sign out) and select the Copy app link item to copy the app link to you clipboard and then paste it into your browser's address bar to navigate to the page.
To link to a secret you can right-click (or long-tap) an item in a list to access the Copy app link option.
Or when viewing a secret tap the overflow menu button () and then select the Copy app link button.
Links
This is the app link to the page for creating a new account:
sos:///accounts/new
If you already have the app installed you can open the new account page; or if you like the connect device page or the import archive page.
To link to private information in an account use the /accounts path followed by the account name or identifier, for example, if your account name is Personal and you wanted to link to the search page the link would be:
sos:///accounts/Personal/search
If you are not authenticated you will be prompted to sign in first.
If you create links using the account name they will stop working if you decide to rename the account so it's recommended to use the account identifier instead:
sos:///accounts/0x1a9e3b22d350a13de4de229cb304c429990aa6f9/search
Secret links contain the account, folder and secret identifiers so they are quite long, you certainly won't want to be writing these by hand! Here is an example:
sos:///accounts/0x1a9e3b22d350a13de4de229cb304c429990aa6f9/folders/552ff5f2-1244-4033-a987-0827a208a198/view/d100599c-f84e-45aa-83d8-c8b4838c986a
If you are signed in to an account and the link would take you to a page that would sign you out a link confirmation dialog will be shown:
Tap the confirm button to open the link or cancel if you prefer to stay where you are.
