hookable

Able to snag

Hookable describes something that can be hooked—physically attached with a hook, or figuratively caught and held.

In fishing contexts, a hookable fish is one that can be caught on a line.

The word extends to anything designed to connect or attach: The trailer has a hookable hitch system.

In software development, hookable refers to code or functions that can be intercepted or extended by other programs, allowing developers to customize behavior without modifying the original source.
