Copy a New Unique ID and Copy a Search Link from Clipboard

Sometimes an app is not link-friendly, meaning it is not compatible with Hookmark’s Copy Link feature. That’s a drag, but we have a work-around for this situation. As long as the app’s content is indexed by Spotlight, you can create a link to its content.

The trick is

  1. To Copy a New Unique ID ( ⌘U)
  2. Paste that ID somewhere in the file or object.
  3. Where you want to reference it, use the Copy a Search Link from Clipboard command (⇧⌘S).

These two commands are in the Advanced menu of Hookmark’s gear menu. If you use Hookmark in foreground mode, then the commands are also available in Hookmark’s Edit menu.

For more about these 2 commands, read up on it in the Gear menu’s help page.
