Links to Todoist tasks don't work on Windows

Feature Requestnull

When I click on the link of a task that's been imported from Todoist, it opens the Todoist Desktop app but doesn't open the task itself.

On the Android app, the task link opens the task directly in the Todoist app, which is the expected behaviour.

I notice the link structure is currently https://todoist.com/showTask?id={id}

I suggest you to use the app URL scheme link instead.

The caveat is that you need to use "item" instead of "task" because it's the term used in the current version of Todoist's Sync API:

todoist://item?id={id} works perfectly according to my tests.

      Marco Ancona (Morgen co-founder) The issue isn't fixed.

      Now when I click on the "Open in Todoist" button of a task from the Windows Desktop app, the Todoist task is opened in the Web browser and not in the Todoist Windows app.

      It wouldn't be difficult to adjust the link URL of this button in order to open the task in the Todoist app. I even explained in my post how to do this!
