Add URL to Quick Reminder

Support
1

What I did:
Created a Quick Reminder in Agenda

What happened:
There isn’t a means to add a link to the requisite note without going out of Agenda to Reminders and first scrolling to the end of the note to search for and find its link.

What I expected:
To be able to add an agenda url for a Quick Reminder in Agenda

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):

You can do this in Agenda to quickly create a reminder linked to a note:

  1. Use the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘ R (Mac + iPad)
  2. Enter the text action \reminder (\rem + Enter is sufficient) anywhere in the note (Mac, iPad and iPhone)
  3. Click on “Insert” in the agenda menu and then on “Reminder”. (Mac)
  4. Tap the plus button in the keyboard bar, followed by tapping the reminder icon. (iPad + iPhone)

I hope I was able to help.

The problem with inserting a link is unfortunately well known, and is due to shortcomings on Apple’s side. We do actually set the link in Agenda, but Reminders ignores it. We have been in contact with them for several years about it, but they never come with a solution. Very frustrating.

Thanks! How do I do this on my phone or iPad?

Ah, can’t believe Apple would ignore a request that improves productivity. :upside_down_face:…
Agree, it’s frustrating,
Thanks for the reply.
Late with this, enjoying the Search capability.
Thanks for creating it.

I have added this information here:

Apps like Drafts, Bear and Apple Notes add a clickable icon when you share to Reminders, which can be clicked to take you to the original item (see image). On an iPhone or iPad, Agenda will also add such an icon if you ask Siri to “remind me about this” while you have a note selected. Is it possible to also add this icon to a Reminder when inserting/linking a Reminder to a note, or is this only available from the standard share sheet? This may solve @1581 's problem with not having the URL field populated

Agenda already adds an icon for reminders, namely a clock. That is clickable.

Are you saying you get those icons in the Reminders app? Have not seen that, but maybe it is a new field we haven’t seen. Interesting that you even get it for Agenda.

So you see this when Siri makes the reminder, but not when Agenda itself does?
