Feature request: configurable 'Open in [editor]' context menu for file links

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 17, 2026 by alibrohde Closed Apr 21, 2026

Summary

When right-clicking a file link in a Claude Code response, the "Open in" context menu shows a single auto-detected editor (Cursor, in my case). There's no way to add other editors to the list.

Request (MVP)

Let users configure the list of editors shown in the "Open in" submenu, e.g. via settings.json. At minimum, support multiple entries so users can choose per-file which editor opens.

Use case

I work across Cursor (for code files) and Obsidian (for vault markdown). Today, when Claude Code surfaces a .md path inside my Obsidian vault, "Open in Cursor" is the only option — I have to copy the path and paste it into Obsidian's quick switcher to open it in the right app.

Platform

macOS, Claude Code desktop app.
