Links in tables in Apple Notes on a Mac

I'm trying to use links (to either another note or to a URL) from within a table in Apple Notes. I can create one but it won't "stick" i.e. when I leave that note and then return to it, the link has reverted to plain text. I can create a link outside the table and paste it into the table and it works fine. But that's a nuisance. Also, I can create one within a table on Apple Notes on both my iPad and iPhone, and it will properly sync with and work on the Mac. It's only when the link is created from within the table on the Mac when it's a problem.




iMac 24″, macOS 14.5

Any help here...


Link to a webpage

  1. In the Notes app  on your Mac, click a note in the notes list or double-click a note in gallery view, then choose Edit > Substitutions > Smart Links (a checkmark shows it’s on).
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Type or paste a webpage address (URL), then press the Space bar or the Return key. The URL becomes a link automatically.
    • Click anywhere in the note, then choose Edit > Add Link (or press Command-K). Type or paste the URL in the dialog that appears, then click OK.
  1. Tip: To change some text that’s already in the note into a link, first select the text, then choose Edit > Add Link.

To edit, remove, or open a link, Control-click the link, then choose an option.

Link to an app

You can add a link to content in supported apps, like a webpage in Safari, a book in Books, or an episode in Podcasts.

  1. Make sure the app you want to link to is open and active. For example, open a webpage in Safari, or start playing a podcast episode.
  2. In the Notes app  on your Mac, open a note, then click the Link button  in the toolbar.
  3. Click Add Link.

If you add a link to a Quick Note, a thumbnail of the Quick Note appears in the corner of the screen when you return to the linked content in the app.

Link to another note

In macOS Sonoma, you can add a link to connect related notes. For example, you can link a trip itinerary to a list of recommended restaurants.

Note: Notes that contain links to other notes may not be visible on devices with previous versions of macOS. See Why notes are hidden on some devices.

  1. In the Notes app  on your Mac, choose Edit > Add Link.
  2. Type the title of a note. As you type, a list of matching notes appears.
  3. Choose a note.
  4. Select Use Note Title to make the link text always match the current title of the linked note. Deselect the checkbox to enter different text for the link.
  5. Click OK.

Tip: To quickly add a link to another note, type the greater than sign twice (>>). When you use this shortcut, the link title always matches the current title of the note it links to.

Change the color of links

You can change the color of links and highlights by changing the accent color and highlight color in Appearance settings on your Mac. (Changes you make there apply to links and highlights in all apps.) See Change Appearance settings.
