I just thought of a situation where this behaviour would be desired: a template could use FUNCTION-FINDING-LOCATION to ask the user to choose a heading (from a list, using org-ql, etc.) to capture the entry to go _under_ it. Here, the function would simply move the point to be on the heading. [ I am actually in the process of writing such a capture template. ] So perhaps an indicator to tell org-capture that I want to insert the heading exactly _at_point_ is required instead?
