  2. in the Legend chapter at the beginning, the question whether Calibre has an «adequate API»
Has Calibre for macOS an API?
I thought I do you a service, if I contribute in making Calibre better known. Your curt answer suggests, you did not quite appreaciated this.
Perhaps the question should be what benefit does Hook have for the average user of calibre? Ummm... forget that one, since the average calibre user is running Windows. How many MacOSX users instead of using the calibre library interface are going to use links to calibre's content? How many MacOSX users running calibre want to be able to create bidirectional links to their books? And perhaps a bit more explanation of what use to the average calibre use such links would be?

Now a tool that could create a searchable full text interface to my library? That could be of some use.Though part of Hook's blurb is to use search or Finder to find a "key" document and use the Hook links you have already created to locate the rest of your related files which strongly suggests that Hook does not have any builtin search capability.
