The full list of viewer URI forms, from the Second Life Wiki’s Viewer URI Name Space page (revision 1219168, 6 October 2026), with the wording as written. Numbers in parentheses, such as (2.0), are the viewer version the wiki gives for a form. Part of the Viewer URIs feature.
The SL client supports links of the format secondlife://Region/123/45/67/<region name>, which have traditionally specified a region name and x/y/z location. This means “run Second Life viewer and show Region on the world map”.
The new URL scheme has 3 slashes1, and allows direct control of the user interface and login. For example, secondlife:///app/login
Most secondlife:///app URLs only work from browser instances running inside Second Life because of a denial-of-service attack using secondlife:///app/teleport links to force repeated teleports. SLURLs that work with external browsers include:
secondlife://<region name>
secondlife:///app/login
In chat, dialogs and other user interface elements, these URLs will be highlighted as clickable links, often with custom formatting including icons. The full functionality is available in Viewer 2.0 and up. Clickable links without formatting were available only in older versions’ chat and IM history.
These links also may be known as Viewer URL Namespace, SLAPP URLs or Application SLURL.

When adding secondlife:// links using the above syntax to a Second Life Wiki page, you can enclose your links in squared brackets (thus turning them into a standard Wiki external link), which also gives you the chance of changing the displayed text. Example:
In this case you will also need to ensure the object name has been escaped.
Sometimes, having the link clickable (which will attempt to launch the Second Life Viewer to open it), is not desirable. Instead, to display the URI itself without making it clickable, surround it with <nowiki>...</nowiki>. For example:
llSay(0, "Touched by "+Who(llDetectedKey(0)) +"." );
}

Two slashes for the beginning of the authority section — for HTTP requests, this is the name of the server (optionally with the port) — here it’s empty; followed by a third slash, terminating the authority section. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.2 . Because Second Life is omitting the ‘authority’ part, that section is empty, thus the three slashes; note that Second Life is not the only example of an ‘authorityless’ communications protocol; there are plenty of other examples. ↩
