The first app or the last app (can't remember which) that registered for the custom URL scheme owns it. > Maybe apps should just handle things better if they're awoken with a new URL on the pasteboard (i.e. offer to take an action with it). This is almost how using custom URL schemes would work, but I think it's still superior to fiddling with the pasteboard though. But you are right. There isn't a standard way to do it now. Most apps that expose or utilize this form integration has to come up with something themselves. Also see http://handleopenurl.com/ http://handleopenurl.com/
