System

Fedora 40, Gnome 46

MD_URL='[How to send desktop notifications using notify-send - Linux Tutorials - Learn Linux Configuration](https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-send-desktop-notifications-using-notify-send)'
notify-send "Downloaded" "<a href=${Url}>${MD_URL}</a>"

[skeller (Sebastian Keller)]

Hyperlinks are not supported by the gnome-shell notification daemon and they are also not indicated as supported by the server capabilities (body-hyperlinks).

If you include URLs in the body text they are however automatically converted into hyperlinks.

Is it recommended to use Zenity as that seems to be more feature rich? Where does notify-send excels?

[skeller (Sebastian Keller)]

Zenity is intended for creating dialog windows, notify-send is for notifications.
