Please don't double-post. I answered your question in your other post:

Forcing Named Clipboard to only accept plain text?

Is there some special reason you are using a KM Named Clipboard? If the data you want is plain text, then it is almost always better to save it to a KM Variable. If you save it as a Global Variable then it will be available to all macros, and even across Mac restarts (just like files). So, instead of this: [image] use this: [image] That should set the KM Variable "Agenda_URL" to the URL: agenda://note/D1BC0274-50D9-45B4-9222-D5EE79D42782 You will need to adjust your Macro to use this …

I will close this topic as a "dup". All further replies should be made to the above topic.
