I have made a file that (for now) just says
#!/bin/bash
echo youtube-dl $1 >> /tmp/tube.txt

I then do a `tail -f /tmp/tube.txt` to see what happens.
I have added a launcher to my panel pointing to the program `yt`.
When I drag a URL I see the following
line added to /tmp/tube.txt
youtube-dl

So it seems it does not see the $1 valaue and does nothing with the URL.
When I run the script from a terminal, it works.

Some more searching brought me to `yt %u`

So now it works. Thanks for the pointer.
