Hi All:
I've annoyed this list a number of times over the past few years with
similar notices, and have been (mostly) tolerated, for which I thank you
all.
This is a 'what if' question. Most of the claims below appear to be in
hand, but I have not yet put together a final demo. At this juncture, I
feel a need to ask if what I describe is of any special use or interest
to anyone here? Does it raise immediate red flags or concerns?
This has been my peculiar 'grail' for some time now, but I often wonder
whether it's just a personal obsession... of no value beyond my own
imagination.
What say any of you?
(Please be truthful but gentle in reply...)
Many thanks.
Peter B.

As previously advertised....
Missing Link is a simple utility that allows you to open, run or launch
almost anything on your Mac from a link or a bookmark in a browser.
Files, folders, applications, script applications, and a variety of other
file types may be linked on disk much like items are linked on the web -
the link format is very similar. But when clicked, linked items behave
just as if they had been double-clicked in the Finder.
----------
As of this moment...
Missing Link now has the ability to pass certain types of HTML and
Javascript form input to AppleScripts and can be used to make a
rudimentary HTML front end for a variety of AppleScript tasks that
require user interaction. It is intended for individual or local network
use only, and its method of operation ensures a reasonable level of
security.
Additionally, links to files and scripts may now be relative as well as
absolute so that developers can build applications for client use.
Caveats include an inability to handle 'special' characters (those that
require encoding in URLs). Certain features don't work at all in some
browsers. Certain browsers return different results from form input.
And it's left to the user/developer to write both front and back end
routines. The output from the browser must be parsed to retrieve
variables.
Missing Link's original functionality is retained, and an improved link
writer for routine file indexing is included.
