Re: Browse Org files through capture mechanism?

[Alan E. Davis]

Yes, it seems to do what I have in mind.   Very nice!

All I have had in mind, up to now, is a way to visit the file directly from
Capture, without needing to use org-agenda.

Thank you,

Alan

I'm not sure I have a clear picture of what you have in mind, but
perhaps org-capture's GOTO prefix argument does at least some of what
you're after.

Browse Org files through capture mechanism?

[Alan E. Davis]

It surely must be possible to use the capture mechanism to browse the
captured material.

I use Org-Mode almost every day, usually in capturing notes to a large
number of dedicated files.  My capture templates many---too many, perhaps.
 It would be really useful to be able to browse the files associated with
these templates directly through the capture mechanism.

Has this been implemented?
