macos notes:// url scheme

I see that notes:// url will open notes.app, but what is the syntax to show a specific note? I am interested in showing notes that are not explicitly shared.

For example, I have a note with title "Movies" and note id "x-coredata://1C50AF52-CC9F-4BBE-8122-D5F713B198E8/ICNote/p22972"

I tried things like:

notes://Movies

notes://?name=Movies

notes://1C50AF52-CC9F-4BBE-8122-D5F713B198E8/ICNote/p22972

but none of those work.

Try this on macOS:

notes://showNote?identifier=5F8F2E2B-C506-4EEA-BB1B-93DC68BDD670

or for iOS:

mobilenotes://showNote?identifier=5F8F2E2B-C506-4EEA-BB1B-93DC68BDD670

I figured this out from this Reddit article:

https://old.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/eoes1a/url_scheme_for_notes/

which links to another Reddit article https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/aot272/get_url_of_note_copy_note_url_to_clipboard/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=ios&utm_content=t1_fedjvu3 which has a link to an iOS Shortcut, which when run allows you to see the identifier.

Works for me: macOS 11.7.1 Big Sur and iOS 14.8
