Hi -- to the previous comments where this kind of thing works when the Calibre app itself executes the link. Like the following:

open -a calibre.app --args calibre://show-book/Calibre_Library/12

or

/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre calibre://show-book/Calibre_Library/12

That's not the scenario I'm going for. Generally I see the value of an application URL scheme as allowing you to get to a document in an app from a different app. For example, being able to open a book in Calibre from a note-taking app via a link.

For instance, I'm writing notes and want to make a markdown link to a book in Calibre like this:

[Link to a Book](calibre://show-book/_hex_-43616c696272655f4c696272617279/206)

I was reading in the Calibre docs here:

https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/url...bre-url-scheme

I'm trying to to do this thing exactly as suggested in the docs:

You can even place these links inside HTML files or Word documents or similar and the operating system will automatically run calibre to perform the specified action.

I've tried with docs in Chrome, Safari, and in multiple Markdown editors in preview, and as links in PDFs. All these open Calibre, but don't actually execute the action.
