I’d investigate "This Service” for this purpose
<http://wafflesoftware.net/thisservice/> I’ve used this to make a couple of
services utilities. You would end up right-clicking on the mailto link and your
service script would show as an option. There are examples with the package
using a variety of languages.
I’ve managed passing arguments in Platypus, but only as droplet apps. I’ve got
one (on my home machine, unfortunately, or I could show you the actual script)
that converts a dropped file on one video format to another using ffmpeg,
there’s a few more around here but I can’t lay my hands on them right now,
these have mostly been "I have this weird thing to do can you help me?” kinda
stuff.
