Pere 27 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I'm using Evernote Desktop for Windows 10.13.4. I'm editing a note and I want to link another note which is in the sidebar. I drag and drop the note from the sidebar to the current note. This creates a link. I would expect to get an app internal link (evernote:///) but I get an internal web link (https://www.evernote.com/shard/...), as a result, the links open on the browser, not within the app, which should not be the expected behavior. In general, I think that this difference between web and app links is a mess. My point of view is that all links should be web links ant the app should be clever enough to open the evernote internal links within the app and not in the browser. Having two kinds of internal links makes all more difficult (sometimes I choose the wrong link, I need to click two times in order to get the right type of internal link, etc.) 5 Link to comment

I believe that Evernote had a situation at one stage where a link would open in the app if it was open elsewhere on the device, but would go for the browser if it was not otherwise available. Don't know if this is a temporary 'feature' of v10 or a genuine bug, but as you're a subscriber I'd suggest you raise it with Support so they're aware... Link to comment

Well, I openned a ticket, and when I selected the topic, it showed me the following text: Note link behavior differs based on where the link is pasted. If you paste a note link within Evernote, the link will open directly in Evernote. If you paste a note link anywhere outside of Evernote, the link will open in your device's web browser. If you have any other issues, submit a ticket so we can help. This text is false in Evernote 10. That would be the expected behavior, but it isn't. 2 Link to comment

Since you're "pasting a note within Evernote" by dragging and dropping one note on another, this seems like a bug. Link to comment
benclo 7 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 This is proving pretty frustrating - is it best to raise a separate defect or can we add to an existing one? Link to comment
Vinicius2021 0 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Please, can someone help about this issue? Can we change the behavior of the link created when we drag a note from the sidebar and drop it on another note when using the windows app, so it links to the note inside the windows app and not on the browser?

Thank you for your answer, about the support ticket. However I was looking forward to the help of the community. If anyone could still answer my question I would be very thankful! Link to comment
Mike P 2,967 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It is worth mentioning that allthough this has been working in the current limited form for several versions it is still listed as a "coming soon" feature in the release notes. I hope therefore that we are seeing a limited, unannounced version which will work properly at some stage int he future. 2 Link to comment
John U 1 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The drag and drop in the app always creates a web link - tested this today 2022-01-12 I would love a way for this to work like stated above - in the app open the app link .... oh well 1 Link to comment
wojnar 1 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Vote up for having internal links created with drag and drop. Copying and pasting them between notes is a flow burden while working with the tool. 1 Link to comment
