thanks for the response. in terms of opening a different database, that is interesting, i didn't know you could do that. it seems not to be sync-able because the sync location pref is stored locally. if it was stored in the .ofocus doc it could work, which makes sense in a way because of course you want to sync to the doc you're opening, so a link to itself (its own URL) would take care of that. but i can see why this is against normal practice.
so, if everyone has to just have their own database, until the holy grail of OmniFocus + OmniPlan arrives, how do you send/delegate/assign stuff? e.g. if you want to give an action or project to someone else, you would think you could just drag it into an email and clicking it would add it to the recipient's OF, which you can and OF does indeed launch when you click it. but nothing appears, because the link is to an item in someone else's database. is there another way to do this, or a better way overall to assign/delegate?
i see some stuff here and there with applescripts and export to taskpaper formats, etc., is this really necessary?
