I added iA Writer to “Full Disk Access” and to “Files and Folders”… the same error persists….I looked in System Preferences – Security & Privacy – Privacy The iA Writer error message suggests that this might be a permission problem… I thought before that this is related to a potential conflict between Finder and PathFinder. When I paste it in iA Write (as an example), I get an error (“iA Writer does not have permissions to open…”, see attached screenshot).When I click it however, nothing happens. When I paste the resulting link into the notes field of OmniFocus, it is recognised as a link (e.g.

Now, something might be weird on my system: Thanks this is a nice script, and I think basically what I am looking for. Let me know if you have thoughts on how to accomplish this! Perhaps there is a Automator workflow or something in TextExpander that can further automate the process. It would be nice if you could handle it the way Word does and just point the program at the right document. Next steps: manually adding “File:///” to every hyperlink isn’t ideal.

Clicking on that hyperlink will take you to the proper folder, and select the file. Now, it should look like “File:////Users/merickson/Dropbox/”. So before the Pathname might look like “/Users/merickson/Dropbox/”. This tells the computer that it is a file, not a URL. You have to add the characters “File:///” before the pathname. I had gotten this far before, but if you add this as a hyperlink in an application like Apple Notes or Bear, it will try to open it in the browser.

This will change “Copy ” to “Copy as Pathname”. This can be done by clicking on a file in Finder with two pictures. The first step is to copy the file’s path. After tinkering around with this, I found a solution! Posting my solution in case anyone else is interested.
