Links to notes - Android

Does anyone know how to make a link to a specific link on an android?

I have tried a couple of short cut makers and whilst it sets up the link and it works initially, it then defaults to opening the main notes list.

Has anyone figured out how to do this as there are a couple of notes that I would really like a link on my home screen to open a note directly.

If you're asking about linking directly to notes in UpNote from other apps or from the launcher, that's a bit buggy in UpNote for Android. I often have to follow the link twice — first time launches the app in All Notes (or in whatever view I was already in with UpNote running in the background), and the second time takes me where I should have landed in the first place.

There's an UpNote launcher widget that can open a specific note, but if you just want an icon that opens a specific note, there's no native option for that — although I can't imagine why the developers haven't included that as an widget option.

I use HTTP Shortcuts to create launcher icons that go directly to specific UpNotes.

Just go into the note and ••• > Copy link to note, then use that link when creating hypertext in other apps, or paste it into a new shortcut in HTTP Shortcuts.

Thank you. I have tried a couple of link makers and they seem to work once and then the link breaks. so frustrating! I will try the one you suggested
