Minimal API for cross-application linking. Link to single chats

For personal knowledge management I often create links between tasks, projects and directories. Some of my favorite Apps do support linking, such as Omnifocus and DevonThink. They support universal links to link directly to content within an app, see:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/allowing-apps-and-websites-to-link-to-your-content/


Also Hookmark provides a simple method to create links across Apps boundaries. The following is a text reqest template of them, to make apps work with their linking:
Would you please add the minimal API (AppleScript, JavaScript, command line interface, or other) required for App Name to work with Hookmark? I use the macOS productivity app, Hookmark, to provide the missing links between my favorite apps. Hookmark enables me to to link items from my favorite apps to each other. This provides many benefits.

Hookmark needs AppleScript support to:

  1. get a name and URL (or other unique identifier) of the frontmost open resource in your app; and

  2. be able to open this resource later using that same URL/identifier.

That’s all there is to it. It’s quite easy to do, and many great apps support this.

For more information, please check out https://hookproductivity.com/help/integration/other-app-developers/.

Updating App Name to work with Hookmark would make it possible for me to more frequently use your app. On the Hookmark website you’ll see that Hookmark is already compatible with other apps like yours.

Of course, native universal links would be the best. I think of a right click on a chat and copy a link to the specific chat.

Thank you very much
