Link in card description to Obsidian note not working

[Jim Cook]

Hi

I'm using Trello with Obsidian and in the past I have successfully created a link from a Trello card to an Obsidian note on my local filesystem by copying the URL to the Obsidian note and then pasting into Trello description as a markdown link like this:

[obsidian](obsidian://adv-uri?vault=Documents&filepath=Obsidian%20Vault%20Zero%202%2FDaily%20Notes%2F2024-10-14%20Daily%20note%20for%20today.md)

As of today the links seem to have stopped working and when I create a new link and follow it then I get a browser error saying the site can't be reached.

Trello seems to be passing a truncated URL to the browser as the site it's trying to open is only the last word of the URL.  For example: 

http://20today.md/

Trying to create the link using the "link" button in the description editor and pasting the obsidian URL results in:

We couldn’t find anything matching your search. Try again with a different term.

This is not an Obsidian problem as if I paste the link into the browser address field it opens in Obsidian as expected.

Any help or clues would be much appreciated.

Regards

Jim

Hi @Jim Cook, fellow Obsidian user here, but I'd never considered this workflow myself! We recently released a change to our rendering library for card content, which was designed to make our system dramatically faster and easier for us to maintain, but unfortunately local links are no longer supported in this new library. We're exploring adding this functionality back in, but we don't have a timeline for this right now. You can follow along with the public feature request here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TRELLO-677

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for writing in!

Hi Raymond, thanks for the explanation.  I appreciate the desire to improve the efficiency of your software engineering process but it's rather disappointing to see functionality removed with no warning or explanation.

I'll add my vote to the feature request.

Regards

@Jim Cook interesting, i had no idea that trello ever worked with local md file links. I will go ahead and click a button to raise this to support so they can mention if this new behavior is expected or not.
