Bluebeam’s studio:// URI scheme (and equivalent web join links) currently opens Bluebeam desktop app to join a Session from a web browser, but it doesn’t let us deep‑link directly to a specific document and page (or named destination) inside that Session.
Extending the existing URI scheme with deep-links would provide big productivity and integration wins for teams and platforms that embed Bluebeam in their review workflows.
In coordinated, multi‑discipline reviews we often need to send someone straight to page X of document Y (e.g., “Spec Vol 2, p. 42, HVAC Notes” or “Sheet M1.02, Detail 7”). Today we have to provide written breadcrumbs like “Join Session ➝ open Volume 2 Specs ➝ go to p. 42 ➝ zoom to note.” That’s error‑prone, slow, and it disrupts reviewers who aren’t familiar with the document set.
Deep‑linking would reduce this to one click—reviewers land exactly where they need to comment, backcheck, or sign off.
Concept implementation:
Extend the Bluebeam protocol handler and web join URL to support document and location parameters. Examples below illustrate intent; actual names can follow Bluebeam conventions.
# Join a Session and open a specific document by GUID, at page 42 (fit width)
studio://studio.bluebeam.com/sessions/294-744-382?fileId=7f2a3...&page=42&zoom=fitWidth
# Named destination (preferred for resilient links across revisions)
studio://studio.bluebeam.com/sessions/294-744-382?fileId=7f2a3...&dest=HVAC_Notes_Section
# Snapshot view (x,y,zoom for precise detail callouts)
studio://studio.bluebeam.com/sessions/294-744-382?fileId=7f2a3...&view=150,230,200%
# Web equivalent (for Bluebeam on the web)
https://studio.bluebeam.com/join.html?ID=294-744-382&fileId=7f2a3...&page=42&zoom=fitWidth
Thanks for considering!
