> Hook's file links are adaptive macOS file:// URLs are hard to obtain, and they are brittle (they break when you move the file.) Instead: popup Hook in Finder (or even while editing the file in an app), use Hook’s Copy Link (⌘C) and you’ll get a properly formatted link that works even if you move or rename the file. > Hook’s file links are like Finder aliases, but more robust, well formatted (URL & name) and shareable! Are you using hashes and then falling back to heuristics? How else could you track files between systems?

Something like that. For the remote case, currently the leaf node of filename on remote system needs to match initially. For `hook://file/` URLs outside the user's database (i.e., apart from the hooks) Hook defaults to revealing file in Finder rather than opening. That can be changed in General prefs (https://hookproductivity.com/help/preferences/general/ https://hookproductivity.com/help/preferences/general/ ) If there are multiple matches, they are shown. We tweak the algorithm from time to time.
