I often link to external files (like PDFs) from my Bear notes. In older versions of Bear, I was able to click a file:// link and it would open the folder (or file) directly in Finder with a single click. Now, I have to right-click the link and choose “Open Link”, and sometimes I need to click several times for it to work.
Other apps like Obsidian open such links directly, and I would love to see Bear offer similar functionality. Ideally, Bear could include a small helper or use Shortcuts/AppleScript to allow safe one-click opening of local files or folders, without breaking the macOS sandbox.
This would really improve workflows for users who reference external documents regularly.
Thanks for your great work – Bear is a fantastic app!
