Sharepoint list column type removing hyperlink

With either a Rich Text or Enhanced Rich Text column type, when I try to use a link to the Onenote desktop app (begins with 'onenote:https://'), SP will remove the hyperlink on its own. My guess it because it only allows 'https://'. Has anyone found a way to get SP to accept this kind of a link?

  • My solution is to use the Onenote online link, then in Onenote online you can select to open it in the app.

  • Hi ux0042​ 

     

    this behaviour make sense. Use instead the link direct to your OneNote web app.

     

    The idea from this is:

    1. It can be a security whole, to use links direct to desktop apps (safety first)
    2. Everyone can open the web links, even if someone does not have OneNote or has an old version on their desktop

     

    Best, Dave
