Reflect supports deep linking, allowing users to perform actions within the app using custom URLs. These deep links follow specific format:
reflect://reflect?command=<command_name>&<parameter1>=<value1>&...
Deep links are just regular URLs. You can place them anywhere where regular links are supported, for example inside of an email. Clicking a deep link will open Reflect and perform the action you specified. (Like editing a particular note.)
<aside>
💡 Note on URL encoding - You might notice %20 or other unusual characters in the URL. This is called "URL encoding." It's a way to safely represent special characters in web addresses. For example, spaces are replaced with %20. This ensures that the link works correctly, especially when it contains spaces or special characters. When you see %20 in a URL, just think of it as a space!
