Binder link to specific file in rstudio

Hey everyone,

I want my Binder link to open a specific rmd file in rStudio.

E.g. currently the link https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/matanmazor/asymmetry/master?urlpath=rstudio directs the user to rstudio, but the file binder/asymmetry_RR2.rmd needs to be opened manually. Can the file be opened immediately when clicking the link?

cheers,
-Matan

To directly open a file/notebook in Jupyter notebook or Jupyter Lab mybinder.org relies on the fact that you can construct a URL that ntoebook/lab understands as “directly open that file”.

As far as I know there is not such URL for RStudio. However I rarely/never use RStudio so it is worth double checking/doing a bit of research to confirm this. Once we have this it would be possible to implement this feature.
