We’ve published a web page that explains Hookmark’s file links ( hook://file/ links).
Why this matters
Robust file linking isn’t just a technical nicety—it fundamentally changes how you work. When links don’t break, you stop worrying about where files live and start focusing on what they mean and how they relate to each other. That’s the difference between managing files and managing knowledge.
Hookmark’s hook://file/ links are designed for real-world workflows: evolving projects, refactored folders, shared repositories, cloud sync, collaboration, and long-lived archives. They let you confidently connect files to emails, tasks, notes, research papers, and web resources—knowing those connections will still work weeks, months, or years later.
This is why Hookmark isn’t just a bookmarking tool or a convenience utility. It’s infrastructure for ubiquitous linking on macOS: a reliable foundation for building, revisiting, and sharing meaningful context across your work.
