Is Reminders App Linkable?

Discussion & Help

I figured it out how to get the selected reminder from Reminders via AppleScript. The only issue now is that it doesn’t work in Hook, since it doesn’t have access to the Reminders database in the Privacy preference pane. The script works fine from apps which has access to the Reminders database, in this case Script Debugger, see the video below.

Questions is @LucB: how can I get Hook to request access to the Reminders database?

Here’s the script.

to findAndReplaceInText(theText, theSearchString, theReplacementString)
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to theSearchString
	set theTextItems to every text item of theText
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to theReplacementString
	set theText to theTextItems as string
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
	return theText
end findAndReplaceInText

tell application "System Events"
	tell its application process "Reminders"
		tell its window "Reminders"
			tell its splitter group 1
				tell its UI element 3
					tell its UI element 2
						tell its UI element 1
							set reminderOutline to first UI element whose selected is true
							set reminderDescription to accessibility description of UI element 1 of reminderOutline
						end tell
					end tell
				end tell
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

if reminderDescription contains "Completed, " then
	set theReminderName to findAndReplaceInText(reminderDescription, "Completed, ", "")
end if

if reminderDescription contains "Incomplete, " then
	set theReminderName to findAndReplaceInText(reminderDescription, "Incomplete, ", "")
end if

tell application "Reminders"
	set theReminder to the first reminder whose name is theReminderName
	set theURL to the id of theReminder as text
	set theURL to do shell script "echo \"" & theURL & "\"|sed 's/x-apple-reminder:\\/\\//x-apple-reminderkit:\\/\\/REMCDReminder\\//g'"
	
	return "[" & theReminderName & "](" & theURL & ")"
end tell
