Link Opener by InterviewCue

Paste URLs in any format and open them all in browser tabs - perfect for podcast prep, presentations, or research.

What is Link Opener?

Whether you're preparing for a podcast interview, organizing research materials, or setting up for a presentation, you often need to open dozens of reference links all at once. Link Opener makes this effortless - just paste your URLs in any format and open them all with a single click.

How to Use

  1. Paste your links in any format:
    • Markdown format: [GitHub](https://github.com/python/cpython)
    • Bold with colon: **Project Name**: https://example.com
    • Plain URLs: https://example.com
    • Bare domains: github.com (we'll add https:// automatically)
    • Mixed formats—comma-separated, one per line, or space-separated
  2. Click "Parse Links" to extract and validate all URLs
  3. Use Cmd+Click (Mac) or Ctrl+Click (Windows/Linux) to open each link in a background tab
  4. Opened links are automatically marked with a checkmark and moved to the bottom

Privacy Note: Your links are parsed on our server and never saved to our database — no account needed and no record tied to you. Analytics record which pages are visited, never what you put in them. When you close the page, they're gone.

Link Directly to Pre-filled URLs

You can also link directly to this page with URLs already loaded! Just add a urls parameter to the URL with newline-separated links (URL encoded). Perfect for sharing a curated set of links or integrating with other tools.

Example:
https://interviewcue.com/tools/link-opener?urls=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fpython.org

Topic Separators (with optional details)

Mix topic separator pages into your list to act as visual dividers in the tab bar. Each one takes a title, and optionally a details parameter holding Markdown — your prep notes for that topic. The details render on the separator page collapsed under the title, one click to expand, so the tab still reads as a clean divider until you want the write-up.

Example:
https://interviewcue.com/tools/link-opener/topic?title=Codeberg%20AI%20ban&details=%23%20Key%20points%0A%0A-%20Vague%20boundary%0A-%20Hard%20to%20enforce

URL-encode both values. Standard Markdown formatting is supported — headings, bold, italics, lists, links, quotes and code. A few elements are intentionally not rendered (images, tables, horizontal rules), so a --- divider won't show up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my browser block pop-ups when opening multiple links?

Link Opener doesn't automatically open links—it extracts and displays them for you to click individually. This avoids pop-up blockers entirely. We recommend using Cmd+Click (Mac) or Ctrl+Click (Windows/Linux) to open links in background tabs, which works smoothly even with dozens of links.

What link formats are supported?

Link Opener handles almost any format: Markdown links ([Text](url)), plain URLs (https://example.com), bare domains (example.com), and mixed formats separated by commas, newlines, or spaces. It automatically adds https:// to bare domains and removes duplicates.

Are my links stored or tracked?

No. Nothing is saved to our database — no account needed and no record tied to you. When you close the page or start a new batch, your links and topic details are gone. Our analytics record which pages are visited, never what you put in them. Routine server logs and a short-lived rendering cache are deleted automatically on a rolling schedule.

Can I remove links from the list?

Yes! Each parsed link has a small × button on the right side. Click it to remove any link you don't need. This is especially useful if you pasted more links than intended.

How do I share a pre-filled Link Opener page?

Add a urls parameter to the URL with newline-separated, URL-encoded links. For example: https://interviewcue.com/tools/link-opener?urls=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fpython.org. Most programming languages have built-in URL encoding functions to make this easy.

Can a topic separator show my prep notes?

Yes. Add a details parameter with URL-encoded Markdown to any topic separator URL and it renders under the title, collapsed by default and expandable with one click. Inside InterviewCue this happens automatically: both "Open with Topic Separators" and "Open with All Topics" carry each question's background info along, so your write-up is one click away on every topic tab.

What's the maximum number of links I can parse?

There's no hard limit, but you will have that many tabs so keep it reasonable. If you have hundreds of links, consider breaking them into multiple batches for easier management.
