Each draft has a unique link (URL) that can be used to open Drafts to a specific draft document. These links are unique to your personal installation of Drafts, but are cross-platform and will work on iPhone, iPad or Mac.
The unique link for a draft can be accessed by several methods:
- iOS: Tap and hold draft icon in the top left of the editor, or tap and hold the draft in the draft list. There are options to copy the link for the draft to the clipboard.
- Mac: Context (secondary click) menus offer options to copy the link to the clipboard.
- Using the
permalinkproperty of a draft in scripted actions.
Drafts links can used anywhere URLs can be opened. They can be pasted into other drafts, and used in combination with link mode, saved in other applications (along with related tasks in a task manager, for example), or even pasted into a web browser.
Drafts links use the /open URL scheme and can also be manually constructed utilizing the following format:
drafts://open?uuid=UUID-OF-DRAFT
Be aware that these internal WikiLinks are actually a URL to a specific draft UUID. When you add them to Obsidian, they will be referencing a draft that no longer exists because it’s moved to the Trash after the action completes.
