Can this be hooked in <shell> kinda like pagers ? so ever long listing gets piped automatically to fzf ?



Yes. The composability (in usual Unix way) is the best thing about fzf.

I use it for a slew of git subcommands for example, e.g. if they expect a ref and I don't provide one, open log and fzf a SHA.

I also use it in vim to find files or lines within them.

I also use it with my password manager to find the one I want if what I specify isn't an exact match.

fzf is great.
