A simple hack to right click on selected text and capture it (with URL if this is Safari) to your OrgMode Inbox.

I hope someone else will find this useful.
This works pretty much in all apps on macOS (e.g. Mail)
The hack is composed of workflow for Automator and a small Python script (that might need some adjustment for your case)
I hope someone find it useful.

I do not have a mac. I just have looked into the code and I am curious 
why you decided to update org file from a python script directly instead 
of invoking emacs-client? I mean calling something like

     (let ((type (and url
                 (string-match "^\\([a-z]+\\):" url)
                 (match-string 1 url))))
       (org-store-link-props
        :type type
        :link url
        :initial t)
       (org-capture nil key))

with some capture template KEY that contains %[FILE]. It is inspired by 
`org-protocol-capture'.
