How do I create a url scheme so that I can open a url with an external application?

Grady Drew

I would like to be able to be able to open "bjn://XXXXXX" links with the appropriate application (blue jeans). 

 

However, after creating a link to a "web" url using "bjn" rather than "http", it strips the link, but retains the link formatting. 

 

Is there any way to add a scheme for external applications, or a way to get around the stripping of what i put into the link value? 

 

Thank you...

Hello there Grady!
I was able to insert a custom URL scheme using the advanced link insertion:

1- Enter edit mode
2- Click the chain icon (link) at the top bar
3- In the left side of the dialog box, click Advanced
4- Copy the desired link in the Link field
5- If need be, define a text to be shown instead of the link itself in the Link text field

When I clicked the link created this way, I was able to select and open it with an application native to my computer.

I hope this helps Grady. Let us know about your findings!
