accord: links to books with underscores in their names

Recommended Posts

I just saved a reference in my notes by copying a Search URL from Accordance (on macOS): accord://read/CLASSICS-E?5Ar_nic._1137:2

 

When I tap this link in my notes (on iOS), the module is opened, and Accordance complains that 5Ar isn't enough to identify the book. This is because accord: URLs use underscore as an equivalent to space. So how do I link to a book with an underscore in its name?

I know this is hard to fix, because the problem is the accord URL specification, not the code, but I just want to note the change in behavior (as of 14.0.4, macOS 12.6.2): now the URL above does nothing at all. If Accordance is not open it will open it, but if it is and I either click on the link in another program or paste the link into the Research field and press Enter, nothing happens. There's no error, and no tab opens.
