How to Open KM Macro For Editing from Another App?

I'd like to have a URL link to a KM macro that I could put in another app, like Evernote, that would open the Macro for editing when clicked. I use this approach all the time with script files, and it works great.

Is this possible? If so, how?

I see that the KM Editor can get the Macro UUID, but I don't know how to use it.

Now that I'm thinking more about this, it would be very cool to have two kinds of Macro links:

1. Open the Macro for editing
2. Execute the Macro

Possible?

TIA.

@thankful_dude led me to the answer:

What Exactly Are Those "Keyboard Maestro URL Scheme" Actions and How Do I Use Them?

You can use the KM URL scheme anywhere you can create a hyperlink. For example, in TextEdit, select some text, and press CMD+K, and type/paste in the KM URL. This creates a link you can click any time in TextEdit to open the URL, which in the example you posted, would execute a macro. Very, very cool!

See URL Schemes to Edit and Trigger Macros in the KM Wiki.
