Hi Anthony,

thanks a lot - that works! Indeed, the org-mailing-list is one of the nicest places on the 'web!

You could also try dragging the link from the app to the terminal and see what it pastes. Or if none of those work, you can try do some applescripting to try to figure it out.

If you send me the code you modified for papers.app and a small org file with a link in it, I'll take a look at it to see if there is something missing in the org setup. Also, which emacs and which org versions are you using?
