Quick links, tab groups, bookmarks, and dynamic searches
They are not just for saving URLs: they can also behave like smart shortcuts, tab groups, and searches with parameters.
NexoPad lets you save the current tab, create a manual link, import bookmarks, group several tabs, and launch dynamic searches using selected text or the active domain.
That turns the popup, the omnibox, the side panel, and the context menu into a real navigation hub for support, sales, QA, product, and internal work.
How to save and organize links
Save the current tab or create a manual link
From the popup you can capture the open URL or type a URL manually if you want to prepare a recurring access point ahead of time.
Fill in name, keyword, and notes
The name helps you find the resource later, while the keyword makes it faster to trigger from internal flows or from the omnibox.
Assign category, workspace, and context menu visibility
This becomes especially useful when you mix personal links, team resources, and access points you want to see under the NexoPad right-click menu.
Use save all tabs or create a group
You can turn a whole working session into a reusable resource. When a group contains several URLs, NexoPad can open them together and, if the browser supports it, visually group them.
Choose a name and color for the group if you want it to open as a block
The current version supports tab-group color and uses the resource name as the label when it opens inside a normal browser window.
What you can do with groups and the links library
- Save several tabs as a single reusable group.
- Open all URLs in the group with one click from the popup or side panel.
- Keep the group name and color when the browser supports tab groups.
- Treat the group like a logical folder and add more URLs later.
- Import browser bookmarks to populate the library faster.
- Combine personal and team resources without mixing workspaces.
Dynamic URL parameters
| Syntax | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
%s | Injects selected text or the query you type. | https://www.google.com/search?q=%s |
%host% | Injects the domain of the active tab. | https://builtwith.com/%host% |
url1|url2|url3 | Allows several URLs separated by | inside one resource. | https://internal/1|https://internal/2 |
sys in the omnibox | Searches and runs links from the browser bar. | sys support |
Operational details worth knowing
When a resource contains multiple URLs, NexoPad tries to open them in a normal browser window and only groups them visually if that environment supports tabGroups. Because of that, a group can behave differently in popups, special windows, or browsers with more limited APIs.
Bookmark import is useful for a quick start, but after that it is worth cleaning names, keywords, and categories. Otherwise you end up with a large library that is still not very actionable.
Links also benefit from workspace separation: a personal access point is not shared automatically with Teams, and a corporate link can still be subject to permissions or department visibility.
keyword, context menu visibility, and a URL with %s. That way you can search or open resources without copying and pasting.
