Links to Outside Documents Broken (Hookmark)

[Chris Eller 16]

I have used Hookmark extensively to link to files outside of Evernote. The links have worked perfectly until about two weeks ago. Now, when I click on the links, they do not do anything. If I use the dropdown and click on "Open" they do not open. I've copied the links into other applications and they work, so the issue is with Evernote.

I am using version 10.80.3 of Evernote.

We have had more reports about broken links, to different apps. It looks like an update introduced this as a bug.

The only way to get them restored is through EN support.

OP, I share your frustration. This bug has forced me to use Apple Notes entirely since I'm depended on my outgoing HookMark and DEVONthink links. This bug have been going on for weeks now, and every 3-4 day there has been a new Evernote update, but without fixing this crucial bugs. It's an easy fix, yet despite addressing it to customer support, nothing happens. This is how Evernote treat their Premium-100+dollars-paying-customers.

For Mac Users with Keyboard Maestro, you can use this hack.  I have it mapped to Option Cmd O

Essentially, if the mouse is anywhere in the text of the link, the Edit Link functionality is activated, the link is grabbed, the Edit Link is canceled, and the link is opened.

@Dave Green: Thank you for the solution; it worked perfectly! However, I'd like to make it work without relying on a keyboard shortcut. Is there a way to configure Keyboard Macro so that clicking on the link directly forces it to open?

Not that I am aware of -- it used to work within Evernote (and could again -- we can only hope).  You  can send to [email protected] to register your desires.)
