Copy Object Links

Routine lets you generate direct links to any task, event, page, contact, database, or custom object in your workspace. These links preserve full context and allow you to quickly reference, navigate to, or share any object — both within Routine and externally.

✍️ Functionality

With Copy Object Link, you can:

• Generate a direct link to any task, event, page, contact, project, database, or custom object

• Copy the link to your clipboard with one action or keyboard shortcut

• Return to the exact same object later without searching

• Link to a specific block inside a note or page

• Preserve full object context (details, properties, relationships)

• Use links inside Routine — in notes, references, automations, and AI prompts

• Share links externally in emails, Slack, or documents

Links work across all object types, not just tasks or events.

⁉️ Why copy object links

Most productivity apps don't make it easy to reference or navigate to specific items directly. Copy Object Link in Routine:

• Eliminates the need to manually search for or describe objects

• Lets you bookmark important items for instant access later

• Works as the foundation for cross-referencing inside your workspace

• Opens the app directly on the right screen — no hunting through menus

• Works across your entire workspace (tasks, events, pages, contacts, databases, custom objects)

• Integrates with Routine's AI — paste links in prompts or automation steps to give the AI direct context

🎙️ How to copy object links

From the object menu:

1. Open any task, event, page, contact, project, or custom object

2. Click the ... menu or actions bar

3. Select Copy Link

4. The link is copied to your clipboard instantly

Using the keyboard shortcut:

• With any object selected or open, press CMD/CTRL+SHIFT+L

• The link is copied to your clipboard without opening any menu

Copying a link to a specific block:

1. Open any note or page

2. Right-click the block handle (⋮⋮) on the left side of the block

3. Select Copy Link to Block

4. The link opens Routine directly at that block

Pasting and using links:

• In Routine notes or pages — paste to create a clickable reference

• In the AI assistant or automation prompts — paste to give direct context to an object

• In emails, Slack, or external tools — share with teammates for direct access

• In browser bookmarks — save important objects for quick access

Clicking any object link opens the app directly on the correct screen for that object.

🗣️ Use cases

Copy Object Link is especially useful for:

• Cross-referencing — link related tasks, events, and projects together inside notes

• Documentation — include links in pages or journal entries for quick navigation

• AI context — paste object links into assistant or automation prompts to give the AI direct access to specific objects

• Team handoffs — share a direct link to a task or project with a teammate

• External communication — reference specific Routine items in emails or Slack messages

• Personal bookmarking — save links to important recurring meetings or ongoing projects

• Block-level linking — link directly to a specific section inside a long note or document

Object links make every item in your workspace instantly reachable — from anywhere, at any time.
