Formatted Ref and hypertext link as text
Posted: Fri May 10, 2019 5:44 am
Hi there,
I have a workflow question/request. I take my notes on readings as separate text files - often in Drafts but ultimately ending up in Devonthink. I like to paste the formatted ref and hypertext link at the bottom of each individual note, so that I have a link back to the bookends source. Critical for me is to have the hypertext link as text, as I tend to work with plain text files. I wondered if there was a way to quickly grab that information? One option is to use a utility such as Better Touch Tool or keyboard maestro for a macro to copy both those pieces of information from Bookends, then paste them. Another would use the floating citation tool, which in terms of ease of use would be preferable - however, as far as I can tell, there is no way to get the hypertext link as text. Anyone have any ideas of quick, seamless ways to move this information out of Bookends?
