There is in fact a way, but it is a bit ugly. I don't have fzf installed, so
I did not test, but it should be something like:
(pipe
(in "locations.csv"
(out '("fzf" "--multi")
(echo) ) )
(out '("xclip") (echo)) )
Or, of course, you can load the task upon a shell:
(call "sh" "-c" "cat locations.csv | fzf --multi | xclip")
