No linkable item found in Orion

Bug Reports
1

Hello,

I’m encountering an issue when invoking Hookmark in the Orion Browser. Until today, Hookmark and Orion worked together perfectly—no problems at all. Today, however, I receive the following error messages as soon as I try to hook something in Orion:

  • “No linkable item found in Orion”
  • “Orion got an error: Can’t make id 2 into type specifier”

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps, but the problem persists:

  1. Followed the steps at No Linkable Item in … – Hookmark
  2. Rebooted my Mac
  3. Verified that Hookmark works normally in other applications

My environment details:

  • macOS Sequoia 15.5
  • Hookmark 6.10 (6284; Integration v. 371)
  • Integration Scripts Bundle version: 372 (Updated 2025-07-19, 08:14)
  • Orion 0.99.134-beta (WebKit 622.1.9.19.2)

Could you please advise on next steps or let me know if there’s any additional information I can provide?

Thank you for your assistance,
Michael

Thank you for contacting us, @michaelAF .

I just tried the latest Orion and it seems to work fine.

Could you please go to Hookmark Settings window → Scripts->Orion, see if “Reset to default” button is enabled. If yes, then click on this button and see if it resolves the issue.

If not, please copy the “Get Address” script and paste in /Applications/Utilities/Script Editor, click on Run button and see if it works.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. “Reset to default” was not enabled. When I run the script in the script editor, I get this result:

Thank you for the information, @michaelAF .

I have the same version of Orion.

Are you using Orion’s profile feature? Or any other speciall features?

I encountered the same error message on my Mac, but only when I have multiple profiles open. Here’s how it happens:

  1. Open Profile A, load a web page, invoke the Hookmark window — it works.
  2. Open Profile B, load a web page, invoke the Hookmark window — it works.
  3. Switch back to Profile A, invoke the Hookmark window — it shows information from the web page in Profile Binstead.
  4. Close Profile B, then try to invoke the Hookmark window on a web page in Profile A — an error occurs:
    Orion got an error: Can’t make id 2 into type specifier.*
  5. Quit Profile B
  6. Invoke the Hookmark window on a web page in Profile A - it works again.

Orion’s AppleScript dictionary does not have support for Profile. On my mac, as long as I use one profile, it works for me.

Thanks for the tip! Although I no longer use profiles, I did in the past. I searched my Mac Library for leftover configuration files, removed everything I found, then performed a clean install of Orion. Now the Hookmark integration is working perfectly again. I’ll check back in if I notice the issue crop again.

Best,
Michael

I spoke too soon. Unfortunately, I’m still getting the same error.

Did it work at any point after you cleared Orion’s data?

Do you need to keep Orion’s data?

Hello,

Yes, it worked for about two minutes, then the error came back. I closed and reopened Orion, and it worked again briefly before failing.

Something to note: while Hookmark showed the error in Orion, it worked fine in Safari and Finder.

I’m okay with losing my Orion data. I used AppCleaner to remove it and manually deleted remaining files, but I might have missed something.

Thank you, @michaelAF .

When it is not working, could you please check Orion->File->Profiles and see how many profiles?

After you clean up the data using AppCleaner, could you please check if the user profile for Orion is still there? You can run the following command in Terminal:
defaults read com.kagi.kagimacOS

If it is still there, then delete it using the following command:
defaults delete com.kagi.kagimacOS

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your assistance. Despite using AppCleaner and doing a complete reinstallation and executing the Terminal commands you provided, I am still encountering this intermittent error. I can confirm that there is only one profile present.

Thank you,

I’ve reached out to the Orion developers regarding this issue. Hopefully, they’ll be able to provide some suggestions.
