Absolute newb here so apologies in advance but has anyone worked out a way to follow hook: links in vim in a terminal (or NeoVim in Kitty.app as it happens?) Thanks in advance

Hello Michael,
I am also new to hook and I am also wondering how to use hook in shell. From Brett (@ttscoff) there is a command line interface to hook’s apple script:
[A Hook CLI for Terminal goodness - Showcases and Use Cases - Hook Productivity Forum](https://discourse.hookproductivity.com/t/a-hook-cli-for-terminal-goodness/1678)
In vim then for example `:!hook find something`.
You might be able to build on that.
