Context Menu with copy deep link?

Hi guys,

I was looking for a way to quickly copy a deep link to share in a calendar invite and found the following doc.

does anyone know if this is a feature that will be implemented or will i have to modify something to get mattermost to spit out a deep link (mattermost://) instead of a standard HTTP:// Hyperlink?

Create a Deep Link

  1. Navigate to the content you want to link to in Mattermost.
  2. Right-click (or use the context menu) and look for an option to copy the link. This usually provides the correctly formatted deep link.
  3. Share or use this link as needed within your workflows or communications.

Hi @iwillsolutions! That’s a great question! The current functionality for generating Mattermost deep links involves copying them directly from the context menu, but you can find more info on creating links in our organizing conversations documentation. Let us know if you need further help!

Hi John,

Thank you for the reply, Yes I’ve read the following link.

Deep links

A Mattermost deep link is a URL that directs users to a specific location within Mattermost. Typically, these links are used to go to specific teams, channels, messages, or threads.

Tip

Deep links can also be used, in combination with bots, scripts, and integrations, to trigger specific actions within Mattermost.

Format deep links

Deep links must be formatted in Mattermost as follows:

  • Deep link to a team: mattermost://<your-Mattermost-server-URL>/<team-name>
  • Deep link to a channel: mattermost://<your-Mattermost-server-URL>/<team-name>/channels/<channel-name>
  • Deep link to a message or thread: mattermost://<your-Mattermost-server-URL>/<team-name>/pl/<post-id>

The documentation does not mention any context menu.
Here is a screen shot of what i see.


If you copy link, its a normal hyperlink that starts with https:// not a deep link with mattermost://.

Currently, the only way i know how to make the hyperlink a deep link is to copy the hyperlink and edit it manually.

Am i missing something?
