When one copies a hook (say from DevonThink) and uses “Creates New” to create a new OmniFocus task, Hoomark creates both a hook to the OmniFocus task and a link in the OmniFocus notes field (see image that show link in notes field)

However, when one copies a hook (again from DevonThink) and pastes the hook into an existing OmniFocus task, just the hook is created without the link in the OmniFocus notes field (I attempted to attach an image that shows the lack the link in the OmniFocus note for an Existing Task but the website would only allow me to insert one image per topic. Let me know if you want me to DM if needed).

I am requesting the following enhancement: for existing OmniFocus tasks, the copied link would be inserted into the notes field just as it occurs in the first scenario. Ideally, this would be customizable so users could choose whether or not the link should be copied into the notes field.
