We are reviving this topic internally. (It was raised [the prior year](https://discourse.hookproductivity.com/t/copy-qr-code-link/1507)). It would be easy enough, even today, to create some automation ( AppleScript and or Shortcuts) that creates a link like this: `hook://GUID/<GUID>`. Then you can use `Focus on Link in Clipboard` to hook and get hooked items.
