Compatibility with Hook Productivity on Mac OS

I had a breakthrough! And it doesn’t involve any extra code in Obsidian so far!

  • open ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json
  • look at last_open to see what vault was last viewed, and make note of it
  • look at vaults to find that vault
  • make note of the vault’s path
  • open path/to/vault/.obsidian/workspace
  • look at the first item in lastOpenFiles to get the relative path
  • generate a obsidian with the vault and file path: obsidian://open?vault=<vault id>&file=<relative path>

It doesn’t look like the obsidian URI supports creating new files yet. It could be done by using a similar approach, and then creating a file in the vault’s path.

That said, I got it working :scream: Here are Hook scripts for Obsidian :confetti_ball:

Open Hook -> Preferences -> Scripts -> “+” and then browse select Obsidian

For “Get Name”:

//JavaScript
(() => {
    'use strict';
	
	const main = () => {
		const app = Application.currentApplication()
		app.includeStandardAdditions = true
		
		const homeDirectory = app.pathTo("home folder").toString()

		const obsidianJSONPath = `${homeDirectory}/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json`
		const obsidianData = JSON.parse(app.read(Path(obsidianJSONPath)))


		const vaultId = obsidianData["last_open"]
		const vault = obsidianData["vaults"][vaultId]
		const vaultPath = vault["path"]

		const workspaceJSONPath = `${vaultPath}/.obsidian/workspace`
		const workspaceData = JSON.parse(app.read(Path(workspaceJSONPath)))

		const currentDocument = workspaceData["lastOpenFiles"][0]		
		const slashParts = currentDocument.split("/")

		
		const basename = slashParts[slashParts.length - 1]
		if (basename) {
			const title = basename.replace(/\.md$/, '')
			return title
		}
	}
	
	return main();
})()

For “Get Address”:

//JavaScript
(() => {
    'use strict';
	
	const main = () => {
		const app = Application.currentApplication()
		app.includeStandardAdditions = true
		
		const homeDirectory = app.pathTo("home folder").toString()

		const obsidianJSONPath = `${homeDirectory}/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json`
		const obsidianData = JSON.parse(app.read(Path(obsidianJSONPath)))


		const vaultId = obsidianData["last_open"]
		const vault = obsidianData["vaults"][vaultId]
		const vaultPath = vault["path"]

		const workspaceJSONPath = `${vaultPath}/.obsidian/workspace`
		const workspaceData = JSON.parse(app.read(Path(workspaceJSONPath)))

		const currentDocument = workspaceData["lastOpenFiles"][0]

		const uri = `obsidian://open?vault=${vaultId}&file=${encodeURIComponent(currentDocument)}`
		return uri;
	}
	
	return main();

})()
