Open/ Create Agenda Projcts from Omnifocus

Hello All,

Maybe someone else has the same need. I work with OmniFocus and have my projects there. I wanted a quick way to open the project notes in Agenda and create a project there, if not existing.

Thanks to the great URL Shortcuts, here’s a little OmniFocus plugin that does that:

github.com/Bastian-Kuhn/omnifocus-helpers

agenda-project.omnifocusjs

main

/*{
  "type": "action",
  "targets": ["omnifocus"]
}*/

(() => {
    const action = new PlugIn.Action(function (selection, sender) {
        const task = selection.tasks.length > 0 ? selection.tasks[0] : null;
        const project = selection.projects.length > 0 ? selection.projects[0] : null;

        if (!task && !project) {
            new Alert(
                "No Item Selected",
                "Please select a single task or project first."
            ).show();
            return;
        }

        // Prefer task names when a task is selected; otherwise use project name.
        const sourceItemName = task ? task.name : project.name;

I select a project or task in OmniFocus, hit my shortcut, and the project in Agenda opens.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! Nice to see people making use of the URL scheme. Hopefully others with OmniFocus find it useful too.
