There are several ways to open a hyperlink programmatically in Python. The How to open a URL in python page explains possible scenarios. For example:
import os
os.system("start \"\" https://example.com")
Use the HTMLBody property which returns the a string representing the HTML body of the specified item. So, you may find the required URL programmatically by parsing the message body and execute it programmatically.
And, finally, to find items that correspond to your conditions use the Find
/FindNext
or Restrict
methods of the Items
class. Read more about them in the following articles:
See Filtering Items Using Query Keywords for building a search criteria string properly.
Also you may find the AdvancedSearch
method of the Application class helpful. The key benefits of using the AdvancedSearch
method in Outlook are:
- The search is performed in another thread. You don’t need to run another thread manually since the
AdvancedSearch
method runs it automatically in the background.
- Possibility to search for any item types: mail, appointment, calendar, notes etc. in any location, i.e. beyond the scope of a certain folder. The
Restrict
and Find
/FindNext
methods can be applied to a particular Items
collection (see the Items
property of the Folder
class in Outlook).
- Full support for DASL queries (custom properties can be used for searching too). You can read more about this in the Filtering article in MSDN. To improve the search performance, Instant Search keywords can be used if Instant Search is enabled for the store (see the
IsInstantSearchEnabled
property of the Store
class).
- You can stop the search process at any moment using the
Stop
method of the Search
class.
