When you think of CamelCase and on-the-fly creating of non-existing
files/headlines, it's just another way of *capturing* stuff.
Why not defining some simple syntax to trigger the capture mechanism
from special links?
For example:
"I write a reference to a >c:newfile which I can create later."
- The ">c:newfile" is a link.
- The ">c" is a link abbreviation.
- The ">" part is the syntax for link abbrevations to trigger a
capture.
- The "c" part is the keybinding of capture template to call.
- The "newfile" would be passed on as a variable for the (nth 3) of
the
template (we could have several variables separated by "#"
This would combine the flexibility of on-the-fly file creation and of
the capture mechanism, allowing multiple templates.
This is a pretty smart idea, going through capture for this.
It would have the advantage that the new entry could be created
without having to switch buffers.
I just did push a change where
[[file:xyz.org::My new heading]]
will create a new entry when activated - but I will think about going
through capture.
Thanks!
