In addition to Alfred/Applescript, the Quickkeys application allows once to directly access emacs keybindings (without emacsclient) and then let emacs call call apple script to retrieve useful context for org-capture.
My solution is completely stolen from John Wiegley, but it works great. After calling org-smart-capture with quickkeys, quickkeys calls the appropriate org-insert functions from here: https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs/blob/master/dot-org.el#L534 Quickkeys just needs to know the frontmost application when capture was called, which is easy to configure, and then it types the relevant org-insert keybinding. John, has also written a function called smart-capture that goes directly to the capture template of one's choice: https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs/blob/master/lisp/org-smart-capture.el Quickkeys is also worth its price for automating tons of actions with or without Apple Script.
