As of version 1.3.3, Hook should link to MacJournal entries. I am finding this works fine with unlocked journals, but if I try to follow a Hook link to a locked journal I get the following error: “MacJournal got an error: The id parameter is missing for identify item.” What I’d like to happen in this case is for MacJ to put up a dialogue requesting the password. I suspect this is down to the dev of MacJournal rather than Hook, but does anyone have any experience of resolving this issue?

To reply to my own question, it appears that there is no solution to this problem. When following a link back to an entry in a journal that is locked, the target effectively does not exist, and even for MacJournal to identify the journal would be a breach of security. It is true that the alert could be more informative (You may be trying to follow a link to a journal that is locked) but I’m not sure if the content of the alert that Hook triggers is under the control of Hook, MacJournal or the system.

I agree, this does not seem to be in Hook’s purview. Hook relies on UI scripting for that app (not a truly linkable app) so there’s no way for Hook to trigger the dialog box interaction.
