[O] org-store-link programmatically?
Dear all, i want to write a piece of code as a 'template', which generates TODO using capture template, and inserts into the todo a LINK TO THE LOCATION, from which I have called the org-capture. the main usage for me is basically when I get email message (notmuch), to generate a journal entry with some comments and at the end of this entry a link to that email. I thought like defining a function like this one: (defun org-notmuch-copymail () (interactive) (org-store-link) ;; some code to get the link into the yank buffer (org-capture nil c)) where the 'c' template is defined as follows: (c Global todo entry with clipboard content entry (file+headline (concat my-org-files gtd.org) Tasks) * TODO %?\n:LOGBOOK:\n%c\n:END:\n) The trouble #1 I have is a call to (org-store-link), which always fails, because it requires 'an argument' I have a hard time to find which one. One of the options I was considering was as well to 'construct' the link myself. That requires some 'generalization' as I would have to detect (somehow) what type of buffer it is. As filelinks: [[mylink.png][sometext]] are different from notmuch links: [[notmuch:id:75a7a46b727b42dca8c70b1c64db0...@cernfe23.cern.ch][email]] Any ideas how to solve this? As a bonus question: I've noticed, that when I store link, and then paste it, it pastes the files using absolute paths. I would very much prefer relative paths. Is there any way how to change this behaviour? many thanks david

Hi David, i want to write a piece of code as a 'template', which generates TODO using capture template, and inserts into the todo a LINK TO THE LOCATION, from which I have called the org-capture. Have you looked at 9.1.3 Capture templates in the documentation? http://orgmode.org/manual/Capture-templates.html It seems to me that the example TODO entry given (using %a in the template) will do what you describe: , | During expansion of the template, %a has been replaced by a link to | the location from where you called the capture command. This can be | extremely useful for deriving tasks from emails, for example. ` Best, Josiah
