Sharing a dynamic lookup from an app

I have a scripted lookup which is part of an app that I've written and it works perfectly. What's the proper way to share the lookup globally though? If I add "export = system" to the app's local.meta and then switch applications out of the containing app and into something like the Search app I get errors regarding the lookup not being found. Creating a symlink into etc/system/bin fixed the issue, but I'm guessing that's not the right way to handle this permanently...

Hi,

you need to set the lookup-objec to appear in All apps.
