In Jaguar, the new version of Sherlock can be controlled via "sherlock:" URLs. This allows you to open Sherlock to a particular channel and set some of the data for that channel. This is handy if you want to create URL shortcuts for the channels that you use most frequently.
The URLs take the form of "sherlock://[channel id]?[parameters]". For instance, to open the dictionary channel and look up the word "algorithm", you can use the URL "sherlock://com.apple.dictionary?query=algorithm". To just open Sherlock to the dictionary channel, you'd use "sherlock://com.apple.dictionary".
