I use bbdb3 for my (admittedly, very simple) needs, but it can be augmented with this kind of information fairly easily: "all problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection" (Alan Perlis). Bind some key to org-open-at-point-global. Add another field to the bbdb entry with a link to get you to the org-contacts entry. You can even get a backlink to go from the org-contacts entry to the bbdb entry. For example: I have F7 bound to a sparse keymap for all things org, so I do (define-key f7-keymap "o" 'org-open-at-point-global) to bind org-open-at-point-global to "F7 o". I add a "link" entry to the bbdb record: ,---- | Daniel Clemente | mail: n142...@gmail.com | link: [[file:~/lib/org/crm.org::Daniel Clemente]] `---- I can then follow the link with ``F7 o'' - if the headline does not exist, it creates it and then I can modify it to make into a bbdb link: ,---- | * [[bbdb:Daniel Clemente][Daniel Clemente]] `---- making it easy to go back and forth.
