Yes. UUIDs are easy to identify in any text and are good candidates for an 
implicit button. To make use of them you need to do something like you have 
done by putting a meaning to them in your environment. Not sure if it makes 
sense to put some extra support for that in Hyperbole since you need to be on 
the elisp level to use that anyway, but interesting. Thanks for sharing.

> How to make defil for UUID?

defil needs a start and stop pattern so could look something like this:

    (defil link-to-uuid "((uuid:" "))" ".*" #'my-do-something-with-uuid)

Using "((uuid:" as start pattern and using a function as LINK-EXPR that will 
get the uuid to work with. So a link could look like this:

    ((uuid:850df3e0-91be-4871-b8ef-b9e62be4c843))

Hmm... that is strange. Implicit buttons defined by a defib should flash I 
think. What are your settings for hproperty:but-flash-time-seconds and 
hproperty:flash-face?
