MacOS Shortcuts

launch one via a URL

shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=[name]&input=[input]&text=[text]

see Run a shortcut using a URL scheme on Mac - Apple Support (CA)

like opening a web browser

System.GotoUrl( ) should work

:man_shrugging:

WTF is that?

I think he left out an “.”

a typo ? :stuck_out_tongue:

as a friend here likes to say
Winna Winna Chicken Dinna !

SystemGotoUrl( ). Still makes no sense. I assume its the “modern” replacement for showURL.

Given that you show windows when you create a new one, and showURL opens the web browser with a new tab, I think it’s more appropriate than gotoURL, which suggests the code is going to execute code at the URL…

What do I know?

yeah
renamed and stuck in a namespace
99.9% chance it calls in to the exact same code under the hood
Were I so motivated to point a debugger at both I could be 100% sure but I just dont give that many damns
