Tremendous!

I hadn't been aware of the menu command ITEM - COPY ITEM COMMAND LINE.

So, if you have:

TOOLS - OPTIONS - MISCELLANEOUS - Item Command Line Format:
ur://%DB_URL%?item=%ITEM_PATH%

( from the help file: )
"%ITEM_PATH%: Expands to the full lineage of item ID Attributes (item ID of item, its parent, grandparent, etc.) for the selected Ultra Recall Info Item."

(BTW, very smart of yours, since with cloning, UR items can indeed have various lineages; I didn't think of it since I've got only main entries / headings in mind for what I want to do with it now.)

this brings this output (e.g.):

ur://C:/UR/i.urd?item=29156,6214,4320,3194,1000

and then you must REPLACE the first "ur" by "file":

file://C:/UR/i.urd?item=26060,6214,4320,3194,1000

and you're done, ListPro and other third party programs will get you to your item / heading.

WOW !

Now, I'm ready to simulate UR as a 5-plus-pane outliner, and in some weeks, I'll share my experience.

You see, on your homepage, you cite somebody saying, "I consider the search for the perfect PIM finished." That looks a little bit preposterous at first sight, but then, you understand that guy's right, not in the way that UR cannot be enhanced in any way, but in the way that UR is the outstanding product where every enhancement is going to widen the advance over competiting ones.

Chapeau.
