Prototype note linking via snippet expansion.

Hey @sballin! Thanks again for this plugin, it rocks :) Lately I’ve been looking for an easier way to link to other notes and so far my favorite option is using Alfred’s automatic snippet expansion.

Something like this:

This is what the changed workflow looks like:

The changes are:

• A new snippet trigger [[ (perhaps, using something like [[nl and limiting to just a handful of known apps would cause fewer false invocations) with an accompanying keyword trigger (nl).
• The AppleScript copying the note link now adds an invisible character at the end (to prevent link formatting from affecting following text).
• "Copy link" now attempts to paste to the frontmost app automatically.

Unfortunately, I had to duplicate the "search by title" block to support copying a link as the default action. Maybe you would be able to think of a better solution.

No pressure to merge this PR! I’m opening out just to point out that inserting links could be made more ergonomic than Custom shortcut, ⌥+return, ⌘+v. Perhaps, the minimal solution would be just adding nl with its own shortcut trigger and an external trigger (so that users can set up snippets and point to it if necessary) + auto-pasting to the frontmost app. Let me know what you think!

Great idea Artem! I've included it in the latest release.
