What issue do you have?

Hello there,
I am looking for a way to open a specific note from my desktop. So when I click on the shortcut on my desktop it should open a specific note in joplin.

I am using windows with Joplin v 3.3.13

How can this be done?

Right click the note and select "Copy external link". On the desktop right click and select New Shortcut. Paste the link there. Give it a name and you're good to go.

This does work but it opens my browser first then only when I click open lick it open joplin. Is there a way to directly open joplin

Works fine on my Windows 11 box but since it opens the note by using the noteID it is limited. Having a profile running that doesn't have that note just gets whatever note happened to be last open. It may be limited to Win 11 and installations with only the one profile. It would be useful to do as you asked but with multiple profiles, that's a pretty difficult task and probably not what anybody would want. Changing profiles when a note shortcut is clicked would introduce issues.

Got a bat file using AI

@echo off
start "" "joplin://x-callback-url/openNote?id=NoteIDHere"

Saved off as NoteName.bat and works perfectly.
