Ok, I see. Building a native app and interfacing it from pharo is the most reliable version. I was just thinking that having a system call out it might be easier to make it cross-platform. I would be interested to have that available for all platforms. Norbert

That's what I did. Only I used a native Objective-C app, as it provides a simple API to register to the events and will even be started if it's not running yet.

https://superuser.com/questions/548119/how-do-i-configure-custom-url-handler...
And then you can see if it is what you want. Custom handlers associate a url scheme to an application binary. Iâm not sure you can use an image with it. So I would register a shell script and handle the adoption in the script.
Does that help?

Hi,
Is there any support from the VM/Application package to add custom URI schemes to listen to from within Pharo? I would like to have a hyperlink like âpharo://send?data=fancypantsâ in an arbitrary document that, when clicked, switches to Pharo and calls a hook I can register. Could someone give me a hint how to achieve that, or do I have to build a little bridge application that handles the scheme registration and talks with Pharo through another channel? Currently, I only need this for OS X.
Cheers, Manuel
