Format

zed://file{path}

Try it

zed://file/Users/me/project/src/main.rsOpen

What you supply

{path}

Absolute path to the file or directory, starting with a slash.

URL-encoded, and it goes straight after zed://file with no separator — the leading slash of the path is the separator.

Note the shape. There is no / between the scheme and the path in the format, because the path supplies its own: zed://file + /Users/…. Writing zed://file//Users/… gives you a different, wrong path.

A plain file:///Users/me/project/src/main.rs URL does the same thing and is the more portable choice, since Zed handles that scheme too.
