Embed File Menu

Native right-click file operations for embedded attachments in Obsidian.

Why Embed File Menu?

When you embed attachments (![[archive.zip]], ![[installer.exe]], ![[report.pdf]], images, or audio) inside your notes or callouts, interacting with the underlying file on your disk usually requires hunting it down in the sidebar first.

Embed File Menu adds a lightweight, zero-config context menu directly to any embedded file—letting you reveal, locate, or copy the actual file to your system clipboard in a single click.

Features

Action	Description	Platform
Show in system explorer	Highlights the file directly in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, or Linux File Manager.	Desktop
Reveal in vault	Opens and highlights the file inside Obsidian's built-in File Explorer sidebar.	Desktop & Mobile
Copy file	Copies the actual file object to your OS clipboard—paste it (`Ctrl+V` / `Cmd+V`) directly into Telegram, Discord, email, or any folder.	Desktop
Copy file path	Copies the absolute system path of the file to the clipboard.	Desktop & Mobile
Copy folder path	Copies the absolute system path of the parent directory.	Desktop & Mobile

Linux Clipboard Support: To copy binary file objects on Linux, the plugin automatically detects your session type and uses wl-copy (Wayland) or xclip (X11).
