This might seem like overkill to generate a link, but our step-by-step guide makes it simple.
These links go directly to other Apple Notes, and they’re fully functional on macOS, too!
Here’s how to do it.
At this point, your shortcut allows you to successfully copy a note’s deep link URL.
Tap it, and things get stranger.
Now, youll see theContent Item Graph.
Tap the circle labeledNoteand youll see another list.
This time, tap theLNEntityoption.
What youre looking at is the behind-the-scenes data for your note.
The important part is the line that begins withidentifier:and contains a URL that starts withapplenotes:note/.
Thats the notes hidden URL (the URL ends at the comma).
Capture the URL to Use in the Shortcut
This URL should appear at the top.
Instead of worrying about that, simply copy the entire LNEntity text.
The Match Text action in the shortcut will automatically pull out just the URL.
Tapping the link will instantly take you to the linked note!
Cross-linking between notesis a great way to organize research, enabling you to build a connected database of information.
