We had this exact feature implemented in our old internal password management tool, and it’s a massive barrier for porting over all our internal documentation to Bitwarden. It’s used both for shared passwords in shared wikis, and by users for private passwords in personal notes in OneNote, Evernote, etc. pp.
The workflow we had for the past 8 years was:
- each password has an UUID (already available in BW)
- all UIs had a “Copy Deep Link” hotkey and context menu item that copied a custom URL scheme (
toolname://uuid/
for us; e.g.bitwarden:///password-uuid/
for linking personal passwords in external note taking apps, orbitwarden://org-uuid/password-uuid/
for org shared entries in Bitwarden) - All search bars could handle either a straight search by UUID (for deep linking), or search by the whole deep link (for copy/pasting from documentation)
- native apps pasted the deep link into the search bar
