Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Would like the ability to link to a file (.pdf of receipt, etc.) that could be stored in Documents, One Drive, DropBox, etc.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

An idea would be to work like tags where a special character would signal that the text afterwards is a link. When the user hovers over the text, they could just click on it and it would open in whatever program is set for that extension.

Teaching and learning
