This is exciting! Thanks Christiaan! I have two questions.
* At https://hookproductivity.com/help/integration/creating-integration-scripts/ <https://hookproductivity.com/help/integration/creating-integration-scripts/>, it says that "A document must always produce the same URL even if the document is moved renamed or edited." The script below will not meet that requirement if the cite key changes. Should we rather use the DOI of an entry as the primary URL, if the DOI is present? (The scheme you suggested (using the cite key) could be a backup scheme when no DOI is present.) * At present, the script below works when a BibTeX entry is the frontmost window. Could the script be made to work when the .bib window is the frontmost window and a single row of the .bib file is selected? (If no row of the .bib file is selected, it seems that the entire .bib file should be linked. In fact, that is the current behavior. Yay!) * Should the URL returned by this script also encode an identifier for the .bib file in which the entry is embedded? It seems like Hook will need to know which .bib file to open before finding the entry within that .bib file. * If a .pdf is selected in the BibDesk UI, would it be possible to return a URL for that file in the OS? There are a couple additional steps to complete Hook integration, but we are already getting close! I think I could write the scripts below, after we finalize the URL scheme. * Another required script is an Open Item script, which will need to parse a URL and open that entry in the BibTeX file. The Open Item would possibly first open the .bib file then open the linked entry within that file. * The final (optional) script is a New Item script. I think I could write that one that invokes the New Publication item from the Publication menu. Thanks for the quick work, Christiaan. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on my questions above.
