I am really looking forward to being able to jump to a note via a url type link.
Keep up the good work!

Yes, this is very necessary, especially for external expansion. . .

This would be an awesome awesome feature. Is there a GitHub issue already?

I really appreciate the URL links idea 
. I wonder, however, if the joplin://... style links are missing some information. I am thinking of information somehow identifying the database for a Joplin instance.
For example, let's say Joplin is installed on a computer with multiple user accounts. Then for every user running Joplin there is a separate user-specific database. Now if there is a joplin://... link we don't know which Joplin database this link is referring to. AFAIR, in some other forum discussion thread someone tried to run Joplin instances with custom database locations in order to be able to separate data that shouldn't be maintained in the same Joplin database (e.g. private vs. work notes). For this use case, a similar question arises.
I currently have no idea how an URL including information identifying a concrete Joplin data source would look like. But maybe it's worth it to spend a few thoughts on this matter.

Yes, it would be an outstanding feature. For calendars, projects, maps.

Checking if this is on the roadmap? I don't see this in the 1.4 roadmap.

+1, would really benefit from this feature of a sharable link (to quickly open a note via another application like Notion or Things 3). Any rough update or ETA on this?
I created a small program to handle joplin://ID links.
A helper .NET Core program is the handler and it sends the data to an IPC server running on Joplin that actually handles the note opening.
It's currently packed into my infant multi-purpose plugin, that only has a single feature besides the uri handling: a command to copy the markdown link of a note so that you can assign it a keyboard shortcut.
Since it uses named pipes and the registry, it's Windows only for now.
If anyone is interested, I could make a github repository to share it.

There is an suggestion to create and unify links to items (notes, tags and notebooks).
Basically to allow, for example, links to tags like
[#tag name](:/tag/<tag id>) in editor and clickable in preview
This is possible through plugin now but could better if implemented in a core,
following joplin://tag/<tag id> syntax.

I am also very interested in this, but this feature is closely aligned with sharing - both within and external to a Joplin installation. For example, the following are related:
- Share a Joplin note link between notes (implemented).
- Share a Joplin link outside of Joplin, to facilitate integration with other apps (discussed here). This should also work with mobile.
- Share a Joplin link with other users (discussed elsewhere to some extent).
Just thinking aloud here.
Sharing with others is is being planned in the Joplin server if I am correct.
I paste Joplin links into other apps all the time, in hopes someday I'll be able to honor them and link directly into Joplin notes, or "convert" them into links that can do so.
Does anyone else do that? If not, how else to integrate other apps (such as to-do apps) and refer to Joplin notes?
Until this feature is implemented (or never is), a workaround would be useful. Joplin links currently display a title and embed a Note ID. Right now, I simply search for the title manually via cut and paste, as a search for the Note ID is not possible natively. This is OK, but less than ideal, as sometimes I have more than one note with the same title.
Is there a cleaner or simpler approach anyone is using? If not, I think a plugin that allows for searching and navigating to a note by note ID would be very useful. It would be especially helpful if it could also launch such a search via a button that extracts a note ID from a Joplin link that's residing in the clipboard.
I'd like to be able to generate URLs that open Joplin notes. And I like that the URLs can make that the opened note showed highlighted text (using range for lines or regular expressions, for example) or scrolling until a certain point in the note (similarly to the behaviour of an anchor #myanchor in an URL for a webpage).

+1 I would love to be able to create links to notes and other items in joplin. It would be awesome If I could drag the item and have the link/url created. For instance in a thunderbrid email. But simply being able to right click and copy the link the same way that you can get the markdown link,would be great.

For inspiration... Links to specific emails are can be made with the thunderlink addon for Mozilla thunderbird:
There are two incarnations of this addon, because Thurderbird's recent moves broke the older addon.. But it looks like they needed to create a handler.
Any thoughts from the Devs on this? Seems like an essential feature for linking Joplin with other apps.
This issue was implemented in Obsidian in under 5 months after being raised: URL Scheme - #52 by xurc - Feature archive - Obsidian Forum
Whereas this thread has been open for over 2 years
Can you explain how you use it with Joplin ?
