No
cmd://{BRAVE} "{URL}"
cmd://{BRAVE} --incognito "{URL}"

and it should work even if Brave is installed on the D (or any other) drive.

    Oh, this may be a bad request?
    I just discovered that another formulation of the Override URL works

    brave: --incognito "{URL}"

    It would be nice if the major browsers were handled similarly, but that brings up the question: How does a browser become "major"? Who decides this question? Perhaps Brave now has enough users (and enough people mentioning it here) that it qualifies - perhaps not. (I'm glad that I don't have to make that call.)

    another formulation

    Recognition of "brave:" as having special meaning is not something that's present in a fresh install of KeePass; perhaps you (or the Brave installer) added that to your configuration. In any case, this is the main way Dominik (the KeePass author) has provided to allow users to customize the action KeePass takes when a URL is clicked. I always thought it was a little strange, but it is what it is.

    (There is a standard place in the Windows registry for browsers to announce their existence to other programs that may want to connect with them; if Brave doesn't do this, there's no way for KeePass to know what to do when a potential "{BRAVE}" placeholder is encountered.)
