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.
You can make your quicklinks dynamic with Dynamic Placeholders.

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.
