My pleasure — thank you for your tireless work in trying to solve this!
I do have the latest script, version 275.
However, no major change in behavior. With Ulysses open and focus on any part of the UI, and I hit shift-Cmd-spacebar, the Hookmark (Hm) window appears with the by now familiar “No linkable item found in Ulysses” notification.
Small changes have occurred, however.
First, I no longer have to give Hm permission to access Ulysses every time I invoke Hm — Hm appears to have remembered my “yes” from a previous session, and now accesses Ulysses automatically.
Second, before the Hm window appears, I hear two clicks that sound like my system is copying something. Then the Hm window appears. Then I hear a third copy-to-clipboard click. (There is nothing new in the clipboard, however.)
Thanks for any further thoughts you may have on resolving this.
One non-Hm workaround is to highlight sheet X in the sheet list, and hit shift-Ctrl-Opt-C (or Ctrl-Opt + click with trackpad), which allows me to select “Copy Callback URL”. I can use this URL to hyperlink directly to sheet X.
Any way to “hook onto" this functionality with Hm? (Sorry again for the noob dreamworld talk here….)
Could you please select a note in Ulysses, then run the following script in Script Editor?

After running the script, focus shifted to Ulysses as desired.
After a couple-second pause, Script Editor returns this error message: Can’t get text item 2 of “”.
FYI / FWIW, when I select a sheet in Ulysses and invoke Hookmark, I get a 4-5 second pause, and then the familiar "No linkable item found in Finder” error message appears in the Hookmark window.
It could be you have different the keyboard shortcuts.
Could you please try the following shortcuts and see if they work?
short cut for enabling Reveal in Group menu item in File menu
option+command+left arrow key
After type the above shortcut, “Reveal in Group” menu item is enabled, note entry is selected and highlighted
2. shortcut for copying note url
option+control+command+c
I guess the problem lies in the difference between App Store version and Setapp version.
Today I’m moving from the official version of Hookmark to Setapp’s, and everything works great except for Ulysses (App Store version, which worked before).
When I evoke Hookmark in Ulysses (App Store), it always reminds me “Hookmark would like to access your Ulysses library.” However, it appears every time even though I press Allow over and over again.
And then I tried Ulysses in Setapp version. Hookmark worked, but no completely. It seems that Hookmark cannot get the title of Ulysses(Setapp) but just a “title-callback” in the Hook window.
Could you please
(1) keep only Hookmark-setapp on your mac, remove the Hookmark official one
(2) Keep only one version of Ulysses
(3) Run the following command in Terminal:
defaults delete com.cogsciapps.hook-setapp auth_id
(4)Update Hookmark script . The latest version is 308.
It worked! Thank you very much for your prompt reply and assistance.
This command seems to enable the Setapp version of Hookmark to work with the App Store version of Ulysses, as when I invoked Hookmark in the non-Setapp version, it automatically opened the official version for me.
I’m curious if this method will still work if I consider fully transitioning to software provided by Setapp in the future, such as using Setapp version’s of Ulysses and Hookmark at the same time?
In the future, if you want to use Setapp version of Ulysses instead of App Store version of Ulysses, please run the following command in Terminal. The reason for that is that the auth id for App Store Ulysses does not work for Setapp Ulysses.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I attempted to use Hook (latest version) with Ulysses (app store latest version) today and I get the “No linkable item found in Ulysses” message.
Could you please copy the script from Hookmark Preferences window->Scripts->Ulysses (com.ulyssesapp.mac)->Get Address, paste in Script Editor and run it? Then paste the result or any error message here.
I had a universal keyboard shortcut (from Keyboard Maestro) using the same keyboard command (option+control+command+c) that was causing a conflict. Removed that and now I can hook documents in Ulysses without a problem. Thanks for helping me work that out, @bchend !
