Quicklinks

Everything you need to access quickly can be a Quicklink in Raycast. Open frequently visited links in the browser, open project folders in your favorite IDE or Terminal, jump to your loved Spotify playlist and use queries to perform searches on Google, Dribbble or other websites. The best thing is that you can access it directly from within the root search.

Examples to get started

Raycast comes bundled with a set of Quicklinks which you can add easily. Go to Raycast Preferences → Extensions → Quicklinks and click Find in Library on the right pane. You will find a list of popular web searches. You can select any of them and they will be added to the Quicklink group on the main view.

Now you can close preferences, and access what you added in Raycast's root search.

Create Quicklink

Search for the "Create Quicklink" command in Raycast. Alternatively, you can select Create New Quicklink from Preferences window shown above.
Enter a name, link and the app you would like to open with.
The link can have up to three query parameters, which can take input when you select the Quicklink from root search.
Query parameters are marked between braces like {Query}
Query parameters also support default values. You can specify the default value after a colon. For example in the following Google Translate Quicklink, the source language value will be set to "auto" when you select it.

https://translate.google.com/?sl={source language:auto}&tl={target language}&text={word}&op=translate

Other Quicklink Actions

When you have a Quicklink selection open the action panel (⌘ K) to perform various actions on the Quicklink. You can edit, delete or duplicate it. You also have handy actions to copy the name or the link.

Quick Search

Finding stuff with Quicklinks has become even faster now. Just select text in any app and press hotkey for a Quicklink to search the selected text with that Quicklink.

You can enable it from the preferences. Go to Preferences → Extensions → Quickinks. Select Quicklinks group and on the right pane, you will find the option for Quick Search at the bottom.
