 and a new Emacs window pops up with no startup delay!
+
+It's also possible to create an "application" shortcut for
+=emacsclient= using [[https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/automator/welcome/mac][Automator]].
+
+Create a new automation as an Application with the Run Shell Script
+step. Then add the following as the contents of the script.
+
+#+begin_src shell
+/opt/homebrew/bin/emacsclient \
+    --no-wait \
+    --quiet \
+    --suppress-output \
+    --create-frame \
+    "$@"
+#+end_src
+
+Replacing =/opt/homebrew/bin/emacsclient= with the path to your
+=emacsclient= if it's located elsewhere.
+
+Then set =Pass input= to =as arguments=.
+
+#+ATTR_HTML: :title Automator emacsclient script
+#+ATTR_HTML: :alt Automator emacsclient script
+[[file:emacsclient automator.png]]
+
+Finally place the Automator application in your =/Applications=
+directory.
+
+You should now be able to open Emacsclient through spotlight and
+associate it with filetypes.
