Hookmark looks to be a menu-bar-only app, based on my installing the demo version. Menu bar apps are not traditional apps that can be activated, so that's why that doesn't work.
What are you expecting it to activate when you activate? That is, what are you wanting to happen when you activate it?
-rob.
Ugh! It's time to complain to the developer! 
@zeltak I am not going to install the demo (sorry) but you might be able to access Hookmark using something like this in an Applescript action:
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Hookmark"
click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
end tell
You might need to experiment with changing the digits.
If that causes Hookmark to present a menu, you can then navigate it via arrow keys.
You may already know about all this, but...
I see that Hookmark offers lots of control via shortcuts, so that may be the best approach..?
Commands & Keyboard Shortcuts – Hookmark
Preferences Window – Hookmark
Hookmark Context Window – Hookmark
Also this may be worth exploring, but I lack enough context to know:
Hookmark 3.3 defaults to background mode. However, you can now run Hookmark in foreground mode . This can be achieved by using the command line
Settings Accessible only from the Command-line – Hookmark
thx all!
these are all very very helpful
