With the latest version it is possible to pass all tabs to remember
by selecting "All tabs"-> "remember (..)" in the status bar menu.
This only makes sense when using a remember template that stores the
note automatically ("%!" in the template string).
Your proposed format would be:
"* %:description \n %:link %!"
If the mac workaround is enabled and the latest version of pull.sh is used, then
this should also work on a Mac.
