Links issue

Question

I am trying to create a link to a Windows10 Settings tool like  ms-settings:

But it won't accept anything in the link dialogue thats not a standard web2 URL or a link to another Confluence doc

Is there a way to add links for other types of objects?

Thanks

I am trying to insert a link into a document, any document, it doesn't matter which.

The issue is that the link funtion will only accept a url like "https://cheeze.com" or a link to another existing Confluence doc. I want to use somethign other than these things in this specific link, specifically, a Windows10 settings shortcut like "ms-settings:"  and it does not allow this, it wont take this input.

I found articles talking about this and clearing formatting in links but it was like 12 pages of stuff that I found difficult to consume

As shown, if I try to make any word or phrase into a link, I cannot save this dialogue

Hi @Mike Lehmann

Can you be more specific as to where you trying to add this?
