Spotlight: obtain active query on app launch

Subject: Spotlight: obtain active query on app launch

Hello, If a spotlight query finds data in an application specific file, selecting that file will launch the unique application.

How can the application determine the query that was in effect when it was launched?

As a concrete example where I've seen it done, if spotlight finds a string in an OmniOutliner file, selecting that file opens OmniOutliner and the application brings up a search panel showing all matches within the file. What API did they use to do that?

Thanks
