External links to tinderbox notes

FWIW, here is a little Alfred workflow to search for the Hook stuff.

There are 3 kinds of searches:

  • “hl” looks only for links
  • “hf” looks only for linked files
  • “hk” looks for links and linked files

(“hl” and “hf” are actually part of “hk”, but perhaps I only look for a special kind of the two)

Those keywords can be combined with a search string like:

"hl" + <space> + <search string>

which will look for the search string in the links and the titles as well in the file names, when using “hf” or “hk”.

This should look like so:


When using

<keyword> + <space> + <space>

the result is not filtered, so there could be a lot of hits.
Simply using

"hktsv"

as Alfred command should create a file Hook.tsv in the ~/Downloads folder with all the links, files, folders and the creation date. It should be pasteable into a TB document, where the titles of the links become the $Name of the note.

I don’t know, if it works for you, and especially I don’t know, how it works with large amounts of data, as my DB is quite small so far.

Many thanks to Rob Trew, who gave me some of the ideas for this little workflow :grinning:

So, and here it is:
