My main use of Hook is to quickly grab URLs to share with other members in my team, or to paste into Obsidian.
My secondary use is to quickly bounce between OmniFocus (from either Projects or Tasks), Obsidian (markdown files used for reference/notes) and JIRA (hooked to a work item’s URL where I can leaves comments for my team). Hook speeds up navigation between items that are related to each particular work item, so I’m using it “as intended” in this sense.
I used to creates hooks via the Hook context window, but I now use the keyboard shortcuts to Copy Link and Hook to Copied Link, as it’s a lot quicker, and using these shortcuts helped me to actually understand and use Hook a lot better.
Only recently I’ve realised that I can search all Hook bookmarks, as Hook contains lots of relevant links from across all work items, which I achieve via Alfred Workflow for Hook - this gets an occasional use when I am looking for something I’ve hooked somewhere. That is a fast as invoking Alfred, typing hm and then the item I am searching for.
