OmniFocus Hidden Setting to Open a New Window from URL Links
08 Jan 2022TIL that there’s an OmniFocus hidden setting so that URL links to OmniFocus that open perspectives, projects, etc are opened in a new window. The default behavior had been to change the frontmost window, which is often the window I’m working in.
To trigger this setting, open the following URL:
omnifocus:///change-preference?ShouldOpenLinksInNewWindows=true
Obviously can reverse it with:
omnifocus:///change-preference?ShouldOpenLinksInNewWindows=false
This is one of those nice little sanding off a small rough edge that’s been slightly annoying.
Credit to this forum post for revealing this to me.
