 ## Open a link
 
-Go to `https://www.sim.ai/sim/<name>`, for example `https://www.sim.ai/sim/handbook`. On a self-hosted deployment, use your Sim address instead. Sim sends you to the link's destination. If you aren't signed in, Sim asks you to sign in first, then continues to the link.

+To place a value elsewhere, put `{*}` in the destination URL:
 
 | Destination URL | You open | Sim opens |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | `https://jira.example.com/browse/PROD-{*}` | `sim/jira/123` | `https://jira.example.com/browse/PROD-123` |
 | `https://wiki.example.com/search?q={*}` | `sim/wiki/expense policy` | `https://wiki.example.com/search?q=expense%20policy` |
 | `https://github.com/acme/{*}/issues/{*}` | `sim/issues/api/42` | `https://github.com/acme/api/issues/42` |

-- **Restrict editing to you and admins**: only the creator and organization admins can edit or delete the link. Everyone can still open it.
