However, when I create a private link by right clicking on the note preview of the desktop app, selecting “copy internal link” and then copy it in word doc for example, if I click that link it just opens the note up in Chrome and doesn’t redirect back to the native app. So, when I use the EN web clippper IN Chrome to clip a website page into an EN note and then click on that link it creates, it immediately opens up the note in my EN native app. It's also handy for creating shortcuts on the desktop or in a folder. This type of link can be used in any program or document that supports hyperlinking, and in the Windows Run command dialog.

Word may not format it as a link automatically, and may warn you about security issues when you Ctrl+click it. But used elsewhere, it will open the note in the Evernote program rather than the browser.

That link, used within Evernote, will function the same as the other type. However, if you hold down Ctrl while clicking "Copy internal link," you'll get a link with the form evernote:///view/. If pasted into a Word document or used to create a shortcut in Windows, it will open the note in your Web browser, as you've experienced. That link, if used within Evernote, will appear as the title of the note, underlined and in green, and when clicked will open the corresponding note. When you do that action, Evernote will create a link with the form .
