Codex Desktop: make “Open in target” dropdown customizable (add Obsidian, replace Finder with Path Finder)
What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex Desktop App Version 26.422.30944 (2080) (macOS)
What feature would you like to see?
I’d like the Open in target dropdown in Codex Desktop to be user-customizable.
Current behavior
The dropdown appears fixed to built-in targets (for example: VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Antigravity, Finder, Terminal, Warp).
I cannot add Obsidian, and I cannot replace/hide Finder in favor of Path Finder.
Requested behavior
Please allow users to:
- Add custom app targets by app path (example:
/Applications/Obsidian.app) - Disable/hide built-in targets (example: hide Finder)
- Reorder dropdown targets
- Keep global default + per-path overrides
Why this matters
Different workflows need different tools:
- coding -> VS Code/Cursor
- notes/knowledge base -> Obsidian
- file management -> Path Finder
A fixed target list blocks practical workflows and forces workarounds.

Additional information
Related but not identical request: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/18294
This request is specifically about making the desktop Open in target dropdown configurable (custom targets + hide/replace built-ins), not only general Obsidian integration.
