# Description
this PR should close#14315
This PR enhances the start command in Nushell to handle both files and
URLs more effectively, including support for custom URL schemes.
Previously, the start command only reliably opened HTTP and HTTPS URLs,
and custom schemes like Spotify and Obsidian which were not handled
earlier.
1. **Custom URL Schemes Support:**
- Added support for opening custom URL schemes
2. **Detailed Error Messages:**
- Improved error reporting for failed external commands.
- Captures and displays error output from the system to aid in
debugging.
**Example**
**Opening a custom URL scheme (e.g., Spotify):**
```bash
start spotify:track:4PTG3Z6ehGkBFwjybzWkR8?si=f9b4cdfc1aa14831
```
Opens the specified track in the Spotify application.
**User-Facing Changes**
- **New Feature:** The start command now supports opening URLs with
custom schemes
