args for snippets/aliases #3384
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please elaborate.
sometimes i want to reply with a snippet in which i can dynamically change the text just for that reply without actually modifying the snippet itself, e.g. ?link https://www.google.com
Describe the solution you'd like
so let's say the link snippet looks like this:
please check out the following link in order to continue: {arg}
and when someone uses ?link https://www.google.com,
please check out the following link in order to continue: https://www.google.com
will be sent
Does your solution involve any of the following?
- Logviewer
- New config option
Describe alternatives you've considered
i don't think there are any alternatives
Who will this benefit?
i think this will benefit people who have snippets that are long in size and who want to dynamically and temporarily (one-time) make snippets appropriate for their situation.

Hi,
This is already possible through an alias.
If for example you do
?alias add link reply Use this link:Then do
?link https://google.comIt will then work as you are requestsing.

and then did
?link https://google.com. the produced result therefore would belorenzo132 commentedon Dec 7, 2025
