Hello all,

I've used calibre lightly for ebook management with my ereader for a little while, and I'd like to make use of some more features of calibre. I have been linking to highlighted passages in the ebook viewer using the calibre:// URL scheme in my notes app.

This problem isn't exclusive to my notes app, clicking on a calibre:// URL link from any document prompts me with "Get an app to open this 'calibre' link," with no "set as default program" option, just "open microsoft store". In settings, there's no link type I can choose for the ebook viewer that corresponds with this type of link. However, I can still open the ebook viewer to the passage using the CLI.

I'll use the CLI to open links if I must, but is there any way that I can open calibre:// links from a document on Windows 11? Am I just missing a setting somewhere else (i.e. not Settings>Apps>Default Apps)?

Thanks.
