Craig,
I remembered I have a script I use for checking if the cursor is in a string,
and realized it would be easy to change it for your needs. At least as I
understand them.
Here is a script that will follow a path that is in between back-ticks.
It will open the file or folder according to your systems defaults as it is
just using the bash command ‘open’.
The ‘open’ command doesn’t need an escaped URI, a quoted path will do.
You can ⌘-drop a file into a markdown file, the path will be selected. Type a
back-tick and it should wrap the path in back-ticks.
If you have ‘Insert matching delimiters while typing’ & ’Surround selected text
when typing matching delimiters’ set in you preferences under ‘Completion'.
When you want to open the path just place the cursor on it (inside the
back-ticks) and run the script.
If the path is incorrect it will beep, same if your cursor isn’t between
back-ticks.
It would be cool to be able to hold a modifier key and click a path like a
link, but there isn’t a way I know of to do that. You can set the script to a
keyboard shortcut of your choosing though.
