You can refile a note from the capture buffer with C-c C-w. I added a command to /copy/ the note instead of refiling it: C-c M-w. Finding the copying location works the same way than for refile. So now you can copy the item from the capture buffer to several files. > The workflow I have in mind is first pressing C-c c to take a note; > selecting the type of note I'd like to take; typing the message, > pasting a link etc., finishing the note, with C-c C-c and then ending > up in a list of available *.org files (which could already be on > display in a window next to capture window) from which I can select > the file(s) where to send the note to. The available process is a bit different: capture, edit, refile or copy, then finalize the capture process. > After some ferocious googling > for the past two months it seems that this kind of system does not > exist (right?).

Please try the new feature if you can (it is in the git master branch) and let me know if it helps. Best, -- Bastien
