Open file in a new tab

[tristone13th]

When opening a new file, it will replace the original file in the current tab, is there an option to open the URI in a new tab?

You can use the openmode parameter https://vinzent03.github.io/obsidian-advanced-uri/concepts/navigation_parameters#open-mode

You can use the openmode parameter vinzent03.github.io/obsidian-advanced-uri/concepts/navigation_parameters#open-mode

Got it, many thanks!

@Vinzent03 During playing around openmode option, I found an issue when I'm using the following URI:

'obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=_posts&openmode=true&filepath=' + filepath + '&heading=' + heading

that it will open the file even the file is already opened, which is not consistent with the description in the documentation:

true opens file in a new pane if not already opened

You are right, I've fixed the documentation now and fixed more openmode issues. I hope it works now more like you expect.

Thanks for your contribution! I think the original documentation is ok, what needs to be fixed is to make the behavior consistent with the documentation, that is, open the file in a new pane only if the file is not opened, otherwise just focus on the pane will be ok, what do you think? :-)

[Vinzent03]

Previously it was inconsistent with writing and just opening. Theoretically there are two different open mode needed. For when the the file is already opened and for when it's not. I'm currently unsure how to handle that.

Okay I've changed it now again, so that true uses the existing pane if possible and if you it to always to open in a new tab use tab.

Many thanks! I found in the latest release that if the file is already opened, then the heading parameter won't work and it simply focuses on the file without focusing on the specified heading.

Should be fixed now 😂 Thanks for reporting all these issues!

Hi wrt "You can set a default value in the plugin's settings. The value from the setting gets overwritten by specifying it in the URI." from the documentation, how can this setting be configured? I can not see any such option in the obsidian advanced URI plugin settings. many thx! :)

[tristone13th]

The openmode=true doesn't work again, @Vinzent03 could you check what's going wrong? Thx!

[Vinzent03]

@tristone13th What exactly doesn't work? Please share your uri and a minimal setup of your tabs. Works fine for me in a quick test.

[tristone13th]

I use this URI: obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=tristone13th.github.io&openmode=true&filepath=Virtualization%2F2023-07-22-EPT.md&heading=EPT%20PTE%20bits%20illustrated%20%2F%20EPT%20format to open a tab in my local vault but each time I visit this URI, it will always open a new tab even if there is an existing one opened.

Sorry for the late reply, but for me, it's working fine. Are you on the latest version v1.42.0 ?
