What is the 2nd best usage with Hookmark?

Discussion & Help

Hey and good day,

Rather new user here. I always employ the “Get-link-of- a text” hook method.

I wonder what could be another popular (a 2nd best) usage for Hookmark?

For emails I use Hookmark, too, but I’m handling text files most of the time.

best regards,

Welcome to Hookmark forum, @omarkn .

For the beginners, I would recommend Hookmarks’ bi-directional linking feature:

Hookmark enables you to “hook” two or more items together. This bidirectionally links the items. After hooking two items (call them “A” and “B”) together, when you invoke Hookmark on “A” you will see “B” in the HOOKED section, and when you invoke Hookmark on “B” you will see “A” there. That means you can then use Hookmark to navigate between the two items.

The first thing to do is use Copy Link. After that I recommend Hook to Copied Link. Then Hook to Copied Link. A “hook” is a bidirectional link between two resources.

If you use markdown, then after Copy Link, you’ll want to use Copy As Markdown Link.

Also a very simple useful command is Make Hookmark File. This responds to the foreground resource by creating a file in Finder that points to that resource. It combines the power of Finder aliases with .webloc files, and goes well beyond that. It is plain text editable.

To begin, I recommend taking a look at the Getting Started with Hookmark guide.

Once you have grasped the fundamentals of Hookmark, you may wish to explore how Hookmark can help you remain fully focused as you instantly:

• navigate between your notes and what they are about;
• navigate between your tasks and what they are about;
• navigate between files in the Finder and any other information;
• write more efficiently;
• create and use deep links to specific locations in PDFs; and
• enjoy Hookmark’s many other cognitive productivity features.

To see Hookmark in action, check out the available Hookmark videos. If you are in academia, you’ll want to see how I use Hookmark with reference managers like Bookends and Zotero.
