Action
Actions tell the Command Bar to perform a side effect (e.g. open a URL or copy something to the clipboard). They can be used in two places:
export type Action =
| ActionOpenURL
| ActionPaste
| ActionCopy
| ActionShowToast
| ActionMove;
type ActionMove = ActionMoveAddParam;
Opens a given URL using the system's default handler.
- type:
"open-url"
- url: The URL to open. You can use any valid URI schema. For example, "https://", "file://", "ssh://", "slack://" (native app). Provide a string to open a single URL or an array of strings to open multiple URLs at once.
