Add Ability to Hyperlink to Evernote for Notes and Attachments (9 Legacy Votes)

Quicken Community · June 2018

I use Evernote to store all documents in my world. I would love to have the ability to add a link to a stored Evernote note for transactions and account attachments. I realize that you can paste a link in the notes column, but it is not understood as a link, and therefore requires additional steps to go to document. I have not discovered a work-around for account attachments. I also use FileThis as a service to deposit my account statements into Evernote, which I find is a huge time-saver, so I am committed to continue to use Evernote as a primary document repository.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Good idea. Presumably you could use this to link to other web pages as well, not just Evernote.

But, Quicken already has a built in attachment feature for transactions.

So, why would they implement a hyperlink to Evernote or Paperless or ANY outside document management?

I understand your request. I just think that Quicken already covers that within it's own software by allowing you to attach pdfs WITHOUT using an outside app.

Good idea. Any method that keeps the attachments outside of Quicken is a good idea. Quicken now encrypts the attachments, so you can not get them out of the Quicken data file in a usable form by any means other than one at a time using the Quicken program itself.

Quicken's document storage leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. As @splasher said, quicken encrypts and ALSO marks attachments as archived so if you do export they are limited in their usefulness. Many sync programs will not recognize them. Ultimately, if you want more robust filing, tagging and organizational tools of attachments, a filing system outside quicken is probably your best bet.

I just added my vote. I have never heard of Evernote, but the principle is good.

I would like to get all my attachments out of the QDF file and into a normal Windows folder arrangement. The ability to add a hyperlink field to every Quicken transaction solves this problem. The link would most likely be a file: URL pointing to any type file on my local disk or network.

PS: it would be fine with me to use the Memo field for this. Quicken would have to recognize URLs, but that's a solved problem.

I use PaprPort, but I concur with the general idea.

I use to keep my statements in Quicken, but Quicken's system is so poor that I finally drop using it and stripped out all the attachments from my data file.

ANYTHING would be better than Quicken's system where they are encrypted without asking the user so the only way to recover/view/delete them is one at a time through Quicken.
