I use org-mode for notes, and DEVONthink and Papers on the mac for storing reference material. I want to add links to entries in DEVONthink and Papers to my org-files, but org doesn't understand links like

papers://doi/10.1038/463860a

or

x-devonthink-item://6EB3DF6A-9B0D-4D26-A7D3-86D0B589E455

However, when I paste these links into my browser, the desired documents open in the respective app.

Is there a way to add these "protocols" to the protocols org can handle? I looked into org-follow-link, but couldn't come up with a solution.


Hi Christian,

Here is a snippet I use for opening Together links (another mac organizer):

--------------------------------------------------
(org-add-link-type "x-together-item" 'org-together-item-open)

(defun org-together-item-open (uid)
  "Open the given uid, which is a reference to an item in Together"
  (shell-command (concat "open \"x-together-item:" uid "\"")))
---------------------------------------------------

I suspect that this can be adapted for your purposes as well.

Regards,

  --Anthony
