Custom Protocol Links

Open configured custom URL schemes from VS Code Markdown Preview.

Why

Markdown Preview only opens a limited set of URL schemes directly. This extension routes configured custom schemes through its VS Code URI handler, then opens them with the operating system's registered application.

Setup

Add only the URL schemes that you trust to VS Code settings.

{
  "customProtocolLinks.schemes": ["exampleapp"]
}

Then use a regular Markdown link.

[Open an item](exampleapp://resource/item)

Clicking the link in Markdown Preview opens the registered application.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm package

pnpm package creates an installable VSIX file. Install it locally with VS Code's Install from VSIX command.
