Using org-ql-find to select the target for a link to insert

[CyberFox001]

Hello,

Sometimes, while I write text into an Org-mode buffer, I need to insert a link to another Org-mode entry.

For now, I:

• Use org-ql-find to find the target of my link and display it
• Store the location of my target with org-store-link
• Come back to my previous location
• Insert a link with org-insert-link

It would be nice if it can be done in less steps.

For example, a function named org-ql-insert-link that let user select the link target with same UI as org-ql-find, but after the target selection the link is directly inserted at Emacs point.

What do you think ?

This is handled well with Embark. You can C-. on an item in the completion list and choose to store a link to it.

How, I didn't know Embark. I will take a look. Thank you.

But it store the link and user still have to insert it.

The idea is to avoid this step and insert the link directly.

Then you should probably write your own command that both stores and inserts the link, and use something like Embark to activate it.

Is a org-ql internal function exist to let user select a target and then return the path to the selected target ?

I don't understand your question. But all of the source code is there to be explored. There aren't that many defuns in org-ql; M-x apropos-function RET.
