I was recently browsing the org-mode link documentation to see how I could link to my Gnus email inbox1. Looking through, I noticed a couple of interesting link capabilities I had not known about before:
shell:ls *.org |
A shell command |
elisp:org-agenda |
Interactive Elisp command |
elisp:(find-file-other-frame "Elisp.org") |
Elisp form to evaluate |
Having the ability to run arbitrary shell commands and Elisp code via an Org-mode link seems very powerful. This is mainly a note-to-self to remember this capability. I will report back if/when I find a good practical application for this.
Footnotes:
1 The format is gnus:group.
