Yes, but passing non-standard data is an undocumented feature. (It is stored in :query property that you may need to extract via %(plist-get (org-capture-get :query) :my-keyword) placeholder or something similar. > I have seen a typo in the manual "17.16.2 The capture protocol": > https://orgmode.org/manual/The-capture-protocol.html > > At the end of the first phrase, it miss a space between the "a" and > "capture". Instead of "a capture", we have "acapture". This has been already fixed in de775a36d, but thanks for the heads-up anyway. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
