Script :: Create and copy a bookmark to the selected item

Creates, applies, and copies a filter path to the item selected in TaskPaper 3.

Can be used in conjunction with Hook to create clickable links to particular points in TaskPaper files. (See also Using Hook with TaskPaper3 - #4 by mylevelbest)

And one obvious variant of this basic script would be to append

/descendant-or-self::*

to the bookmark, so that the bookmarked item is displayed with any descendants which it may have.

So, for example:

(() => {
    'use strict';

    // RobTrew 2019
    // Ver 0.03

    // Added affix option (e.g. appending '/descendant-or-self::*')

    // TaskPaper :: create and copy a bookmark path to the selected item.

    // Creates, applies, and copies a short but legible item path filter
    // which focuses the editor display on just the currently selected item
    // in TaskPaper 3.

    // e.g. for use with [Hook.app](https://hookproductivity.com)
