Beyond Markdown notes, your vault likely contains images, PDFs, audio files, and other attachments — and your notes probably reference dozens of external web URLs. Two dedicated keywords surface these resources directly from Alfred: oa for local attachments and oe for every external link mentioned anywhere across your notes.

Attachments — oa

oa <query>
The oa keyword searches all non-Markdown files in your vault: images, PDFs, audio, video, spreadsheets, and any other attachment format you have stored alongside your notes.

Keyboard modifiers

ShortcutAction
Open the attachment in its default macOS app (Obsidian is not used)
⌘ + ⏎Open in a new tab (configurable: new window or split)
⌥ + ⏎Reveal the file in Finder
⌃ + ⏎Copy the Obsidian URI for the file to the clipboard
⇧ + ⏎Open the file in Obsidian (if Obsidian supports the format)
or ⌘ + YQuick Look preview
⇧ + ⏎ opens the attachment inside Obsidian rather than in the default macOS app. Obsidian can natively display a range of file types including common image formats and PDFs. For any format Obsidian does not support, the file falls back to opening in the default macOS app instead.
oe <query>
The oe keyword scans every Markdown file in your vault with grep and returns every external URL referenced anywhere across your entire vault. Search by URL fragment, domain name, or any keyword that appears in the link text.

Keyboard modifiers

ShortcutAction
Open the URL in your default browser
⌘ + ⏎Reveal the link in Obsidian (opens the note that contains the link)
⌥ + ⏎Copy the URL to the clipboard
oe is a powerful way to audit the external references in your vault. Use it to find every note that links to a particular website, track down a URL you vaguely remember saving, or check whether any links point to domains you no longer trust — all without opening Obsidian or running a manual search.
