Add emoji before Hook Link for Finder (like 📁 FileName)

[weuu]

I’d like to easily modify link names (like add emoji/visual clue/symbols before the title, etc.). The reason is similar to others who want visual differentiation between their links from others.

I’ve seen several discussion strings for this type of request.

Tip: visual clue there's something Hooked here ⨗

Looking at a file in Finder, or a list of OmniFocus tasks, or anywhere else that Hook can create links, there’s no clue that there’s a Hook linkage in place. The more I use Hook, this is frustrating and a major hindrance for extensive use of the app. I’ve taken to naming files, tasks, etc., with a prefaced symbol: ,⨗ (the integral symbol with a leftward pointing hooked arrow). Could be any other symbol or emoji, etc. At least now I’m not lost. Katie

Wish list: create a Hook emoji

As I navigate through Evernote and Bear notes, Scrivener docs, files, etc it is not visually obvious which ones are Hooked and which ones are not. Suggestion: create a Hook public emoji which I can insert into the title of those Evernote and Bear notes, Scrivener docs, and filenames thank you Luc

Change the Displayed Name of file (Finder) in Hook

hello Hook team, i have used hook as my daily workflow from this year, and become the Essentials user because it really makes me feel free, comfortable and get rid of the pain shifting between diff apps in my Mac. i also use AppleScript with hook to make the un-supported app function and connected. now i face problem when go deeper with hook in Finder. the Get Name script do not work(do not running) after i change it to my own script, the script i wrote is tested well using Script Editor. i sa…

Scripts exist to allow everyone to customize links to their needs, but Finder scripts seem to be special. I’ve had a similar problem to the last link guy, who tried to modify Finder scripts but never worked.

My temporary solution was to modify the RTF directly which the link generated by Hook, The tool used Keyboard Maestro.

Hook link.kmmacros

Although I think the finally solution is that someone has to know how to modify the Finder script in Hookmark.
As well as I do wish it wasn’t just Finder, but other app link names would hopefully be easier to modify, for who don’t understand script languages.
