I would like to hook into this.

I strongly suggest *not* to copy-and-paste the snippets into your own 
files. One of the motivations to create openLilyLib as a complement to 
the LSR was that it is *includable*, so you don't have to create literal 
copies in your own files.

People without Git experience or the willingness to install it should 
rather download a copy of the repository as a ZIP file, which is 
available from the project page 
(https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets) through the green "Clone or 
download" button.
Simply extract the archive to some location on your disk and add that 
directory to LilyPond's search path (either as a command line argument 
or through Frescobaldi's Preference dialog.

Best
