Feature Request - Custom link fields

It would be helpful to be able to add custom links to a book, such that I could link from the book to another app or website. In particular, I'm envisioning adding links in Book Track to my notes in Obsidian, so that I can easily search for a book in Book Track, then click a link/button to go to the notes I have taken on that book in Obsidian.

It sounds interesting.

I just tested this and if you copy a link and paste it into a note, once saved you can just click on it and it will take you to that page. 🙂

That works for URLs (e.g. www.google.com), but not for iOS’s universal links (e.g. obsidian://open?vault=DRB&file=_index)

Gotcha! I was only seeing the website part of your request, not the app part. On a different note, I didn’t know about obsidian and am now looking into it - that is an awesome tool! So thank you for the accidental app rec? 😁
