In the README there is a mapping (map("n", "<CR>", "<Cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>", opts)) to open the link under the caret but it doesn't open URLs and other files like images. Is there an alternative that can open links other than markdown files?

This is a bit out of scope for the project. But you can (natively in Neovim) use gx to open an URL, and gf to open a relative file path (e.g. for an image).

It would be interesting to have some fallbacks with the definition() mapping, but I'm not sure how to do that.

gf opens binary files in the editor for me. Is it possible to open files with xdg-open like vimwiki does?

[mickael-menu]

Yeah actually this is what gx does, as far as I know, so that could work.

It seems like gx doesn't work with relative links. I also use nvim-tree and have netrw (gx) disabled.

You could read the text under the cursor and see if it's a note reference. If so then handle accordingly. Otherwise pass it over to vim's gx handler

I'm using MkdnFlow for navigation, which provides a kind of universal follow link for citations, URLs and notes. There is probably many overlapping features with zk.
