[ANN] org-mac-link-grabber: Grab links from running Mac applications

[Anthony Lander]

Hi everyone,

I've put together a bit of code to grab links from open mac  
applications, and paste them at point in org documents. If your  
workflow is spend the majority of your time in org-mode typing, and  
occasionally grab links from other applications, then you might find  
this useful.

It's available as a git repository here: http://github.com/alander/org-mac-link-grabber

Right now it supports the following applications:

	- Finder.app
	- Mail.app
	- Address Book.app
	- Firefox.app
	- Together.app

It's easy to add more, but I started here because these are the ones I  
use. There is a readme file that explains installation, usage and  
configuration.

The code uses the same method as org-mac-message by Christopher  
Suckling and John Weigley, and indeed simply wraps it for the Mail.app  
integration.

Best,

    -Anthony

Nice idea. Has anyone worked on something similar for Linux?
Konqueror seems to be queryable with Emacs' D-Bus; has Fire-
fox similar interfaces?

Hi Anthony,

I like this a lot.

How would you and Christopher feel if we were to merge this onto
org-mac-message or the other way round?  Merging into org-mac-message
would have the advantage that we do not have to break existing setup.

Thank you, Carsten.

I'm happy to integrate the code together in whatever way you think it  
will fit best into the other org-mode code. Christopher?

In that case, I need to ask you to sign the papers with the FSF.  Is  
that OK with you?
