Add AppleScript support

Feature Request

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.

    Thanks for all this detail Brock. I fully plan to make each note fully addressable, so any app can open MinkNote to a specific page/note. It’s a nice native feature that app’s like Mail.app have supported for ages.

    Allowing AppleScript to call this shouldn’t be much extra work. I’m going to rename your post to “Add AppleScript support” and leave the rest.
