4 years agoFeature request: Please add "copy 1password uri" (op://...) to each item and its sections
We already love to mess around with the CLI 2 (web development context) but it would be awesome if the 1Password clients (e.g. MacOS) would allow to be able to copy the specific 1password uri ("op://") for a selected item or a section inside the item.
Hand crafting these URIs is pretty cumbersome and feels often more like a guessing game.

Hi folks,
While there hasn't been any concrete updates on this feature request, we have just created an internal issue to track it, and have also kicked off a discussion.
Thanks!

Thank you very much @"Horia.Culea_1P" for the feedback.

Thank you both for your feedback. We're currently investigating the possibility of including such a feature in the Desktop App. We'll keep you updated with any developments on this front.
Best,

Yeah this is exactly the problem. Especially when you got items that are named the same. (just splitted by tags) In this case it is a guessing game with the CLI to get the correct UUI in order to to the correct
op item getin order to then get your supposedreferenceproperty. - XIIISuper Contributor
What are you using as parameters for
op item get?Wouldn’t that be that exact
referencevalue? - Former Member
With the change that I am describing, the json output of a field would look similar to:
{
"id": "username",
"type": "STRING",
"purpose": "USERNAME",
"label": "username",
"value": "my-username",
"reference": "op://test-vault/docker/username"
}
which could easily be extracted using a utility such as jq, making it usable in automated scenarios as well. I think this would alleviate the problem of having to derive the secret references manually, or maybe I misunderstand your use-case? - XIIISuper Contributor
Probably not, since for me the entire reason of wanting this is easily getting the exact
op://Vault/Item/Fieldvalue.If I have to use the CLI I still have to figure out this information myself...
Or do I misunderstand how the CLI can help here?

Hey both,
Thank you for the great ideas!
This is definitely something on our roadmap, i.e. integrating the developer features deeper within all 1Password clients.
On the short-term, however, we are soon going to add secret references to the json output ofop item get. Would this be something that you would benefit from, in your use-case?Best,

Yeah exactly it can and should be coupled to the development setting being checked.
- XIIISuper Contributor
Excellent idea!
And maybe only do this when the Developer box in the settings is checked, so it won’t confuse “regular” users?
