Mele weapon effects that works with ranged?
There are some ranged weapons that works on mele attacks like 'Hunting Shortbow' that gives you advantage when attacking 'Monstrosity' type enemies. This works for mele & spell attacks also.

But are there any that work the other way round?

I've tested:
* Nature's Snare - any source of damage triggers the save, but even if they fail the DC:12 it doesn't trigger off of spells or ranged attacks.
* Shortsword of First Blood (Break the Unbroken) - doesn't work with ranged
* Knife of the Undermountain King ( against Lightly or Heavily Obscured targets ) - doesn't work

And a few others, missed 'Unseen Menace' because the vendor decided to aggro through a locked door and got her self killed - I may load an earlier save to test it, but if anyone already has I'd like to hear :)

Not sure if it qualifies but some melee weapons have circular aoe effects on all or some creatures(like Blood of Lythander aoe on undead in lights radius... or its other ranged attack). Or the aoe from Aluve's.

There's also the added ability only available to the legendary trident that you can throw(and magically returns to you) that does aoe damage.

If you're asking about abilities on melee weapons that transfer over to -other- ranged weapons you've equipped when they attack, thats different and I think I saw a yt vid of someone talking about such but I cant remember which off the top of my head.

Yeah I'm looking for weapons that will affect my bow attacks as I never melee anyway
