As an alternative, in applescript, you can get the link from copy as link
using id
and then construct the row link, like so…
set rowID to id of item 1 of selected rows
or
set rowID to id of child 2 of document 1
and then…
set rowLink to "omnioutliner:///open?row=" & rowID
Meanwhile, this thread discusses how to ‘enlink’ the contents of a topic (useful stuff begins about 10 posts in):
There are various approaches you could take to implementing this (e.g. get the text and link of the selected row, delay x seconds while you then click on the destination row, deposit the source text and link it to the source row, or maybe make a child row of the selection, put the text/link there, and then you can cut/paste that row wherever) and you could then likely assign a keyboard shortcut using the standard automator approach. For myself, regarding the script in the linked post above, I am comfortable with accessing it using the script menu but I don’t run it that often.
