A simple custom url favorites launcher? Or ability to rename “URLs / history”

[jamesd7856]

I have a list of links to all of my favorite places in various apps (not web URLs). Obsidian, Notion, OmniFocus…

 

I would like a way to quickly save them in Alfred, and then quickly retrieve and open them. Much like the built in “URLs / history”, but with an ability to name the urls. Because often they are not at all descriptive of the content. 

Ive seen solutions to create a separate workflow for each, but that sounds like a lot of effort for what Im looking for which is basically like “favoriting” a link, like you would in safari. Is there a simple way to do this? Even better: to do it in the default search?

Might you be looking for the List Filter?

I dont know, I haven't built a workflow before (though I made some attempts for this specifically). I was hoping I overlooked a simpler built-in solution or a popular existing plugin. Seems like the kind of thing anyone would want. 

 

I thought of a workaround, but it's pretty awkward, and that is to save .inetloc files and use alfred default results to surface them.

Try the List Filter. You basically fill up the title and argument (with the URL) and connect it to a Open URL and the workflow is done. For an interactive tutorial on making a workflow, see the Getting Started Guide.
