DeepLink
Copy links to any asset and share them: opening a link brings up the Unreal Editor on that asset, revealed in the Content Browser or opened in its editor.
Highlights
All 11 features →DeepLink gives every asset in your project a clickable URL. Right-click an asset in the Content Browser and choose Copy URL that reveals asset, or use Copy URL that opens asset from the Asset menu of any asset editor, then paste the link into chat, a task tracker, a review or a design document. Whoever opens it lands in the Unreal Editor on exactly that asset.
When the editor is already running, the link is handed to it and its window comes to the front; when it is not, the editor starts with the project and handles the link once it has loaded. The URL scheme is registered per Windows user on every editor start, with no administrator rights, no external tools and nothing to download. Each project can use its own scheme, and an optional branch-based scheme keeps several branches of the same project apart.
Programmers can register their own link endpoints in C++ and choose the URL scheme programmatically, turning links into any editor action: open a tool, run a check, jump to a setting. The companion plugin DeepLinkPlus adds ready-made links to Blueprint and Behavior Tree nodes, camera positions, folders, level actors and automation tests.
DeepLink is part of the Alpha XP utilities collection for Unreal Engine 4.27 and 5.8. Every feature is exposed to C++, it ships with styled HTML documentation, and it is compiled and verified warning-free against clean UE 4.27 and UE 5.8 projects.

Project settings
Configure once under Project Settings › Plugins › Deep Link URLs - Branch Based Scheme — values are saved to the project's config .ini, so they travel with the project and your build.
| Setting | Section | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Use Branch Name In URI Scheme | Branch Scheme | Boolean | false | When enabled, the URI scheme is derived from the branch name reported by the engine (after the replacements below) instead of the Default URI Scheme in the Deep Link URLs settings |
| Branch String Replacements | Replacements | Array of Deep Link Token Replacement | — | Tokens that we should replace in the branch name returned by Unreal |
| Default URI Scheme | DeepLink | String | — | The scheme to use for our URIs if there is no UriSchemeProvider -- should be unique to each project / branch |
| Enable Debug Logging | DeepLink | Boolean | false | Log debug messages about how links opened by the operating system are handled to Saved/Logs/DeepLinkLauncher.log |
