Raycast Quicklinks für effiziente Nutzung

Quicklinks are one of my favorite Raycast features. They're so easy to set up, but can still save you a lot of time. So if you're not using them yet, here are seven ideas to get you started. You can actually use Quicklinks to open specific paths in Finder. So in my case, I open the downloads folder all the time, so I created a Quicklink for that. And you can see here in Raycast, when you paste in a path for Finder, Raycast automatically detects it. If you have Dropbox installed on your Mac, a good idea could be to put in a link for a Dropbox folder that you visit often, and that way you can access your folders on the cloud through quick links. One cool thing about Quicklinks is that it supports arguments. So that allows you to create more dynamic Quicklinks, such as this one to check the Yahoo stocks. You can do that just by inserting a query in the URL, and that's all there is to it. You can create a Quicklink to fi synonyms on Thesaurus using an argument just like we did before, but to make it even more streamlined, you can turn on the past selected text as argument when using it through a hotkey. This way, whenever you're writing something and you wanna look for synonyms of a particular word, you can just select it, press your hotkey, and you'll get your results. This next one is one of my favorite ones that was actually a recommendation on Twitter, so shout out Winter for that one, which is a Quicklink to tweet the selected text. All I have to do is create a Quicklink and add a hotkey to it. And with the same technique as before, I can select the text, press my hotkey, and it's ready to tweet. Quicklinks get even more powerful when you can specify which app you want to open them in. So here's how I can create a Quicklink that opens an Apple Music Station directly in the music app. This last one is quite fun, but it's also super complex. So I've just made this change in the Spotify extensions search command that makes it so the deeplink supports some additional context. And with that, you can now create a Quicklink that accepts a query, which passes it through to the deeplink and finally opens the extension, which now means that when I assign a hotkey to it alongside the pass selected text as value, I can just select some text, press my hotkey, and it will launch the Spotify extension search command with my query filled in. So these are just some ideas to get you started with Quicklinks. As you can see, they're super modular and you can tailor them however you want. If you end up using Quicklinks, then let us know in the comments because I'm super curious to know what you're gonna do with them.
