  I would love to be able to create links to my SimpleNote documents that I can paste into Notion or other places such that clicking on the link opens the document in the desktop application, the web app, or both ideally.

  I know that I can get a link to a published document, but I don’t want to publish.

  I think all that would be needed to make this work in the web app would be to add a GUID to the URL path string. Clicking between documents now does not change the URL (https://app.simplenote.com/) and instead some javascript magic is happening under the hood.

  Seems like a great weekend project for a SimpleNote dev with a high impact for folks like me. :-)

  If there was a Simplenote dev…

  Seems simple enough that you wouldn’t even need a human dev. Give it to a Cursor background agent and let run, I say

  @trentbrown That’s a great and detailed suggestion. We’ll note down your idea.
