I want to make shortcuts to OneNote notes on android in a certain folder (not app launcher folders, but folders visible in a file manager app). To do so I want to create a
.url
file containig the link to the note. Unfortunately, it is not possible to share notes with OneNote, thus I have no idea how the links look like.
I was given the idea to enable developer mode on my android device and then to check the logcat while tapping the Android home screen shortcut. This should reveal the full Intent which contains the link of the note. I tried to do so but I don't understand the android developer mode.
**Is this a possible way to find out the link of a shortcut of the home screen? Can anyone who succeeds in this share a OneNote home screen shortcut link**? I would like to know the link format so that I can make those shortcut link files by myself.

**What I mean by "link format"**: For example, I figured out that simply adding ?si=
at the end of a Spotify web link opens the app. Compare https://open.spotify.com/track/3Bp8X5z1jgq7HS0tCr0liJ
which opens the song in browser to https://open.spotify.com/track/3Bp8X5z1jgq7HS0tCr0liJ?si=
which opens the same song in the app. I hope there is a simple solution as this for OneNote: Once I know the differences in format I can easily make android shortcuts from web links.
