Hello list,
Well, first, once again (I don't get tired of doing this) let me
congratulate the org developer for such an awesome piece of software!
I use org to implement GTD, and most of my list management lies in
emacs+org. However, for reference material and notes (that are reference in
nature) I use tomboy. I have two inboxes: Remember and Tomboy.
When I feel the data is amorphous (I'm not sure yet what it means) I just
dump it in inbox.org through Remember to then process -- it may turn out to
be reference material and may go to tomboy. However,
if it's a note, blog post draft, or any other data that is is bigger in
nature and has a reference and that will probably not be accessed that
often, I dump into tomboy.
I have a main gtd.org file and in its top I have a list of other org files
that I have, for example:
* Workout plan - [[workout.org]]
* Nutrition - [[nutrition.org]]
What I would like to do is create a link to a tomboy note. I'm sure it would
be possible somehow, but I have no idea how though. Something like:
* Check out Blog post draft [[tomboy:"my draft"]]
And C-u C-o on it would open this tomboy note in tomboy.
Any ideas on how this could be implemented?
Thanks!
Marcelo.

Is there a command line command that will fire up tomboy and display a
specific note? The this could be easily done.

$ tomboy --open-note 'MyNote'
Alternatively, at least in Emacs 23+, one can use Tomboy's D-BUS API,
which offers some ways for deeper integration with Emace:

Something like the following (untested...)
(require 'org)
(org-add-link-type "tomboy" 'org-tomboy-open)
(defun org-tomboy-open (note)
(let ((outbuf (get-buffer-create "*Org Shell Output*"))
(cmd (concat "tomboy --open-note " (shell-quote-argument note) " &")))
(with-current-buffer outbuf (erase-buffer))
(shell-command cmd outbuf outbuf)))

I ran a very simple test and this worked very nicely. The only caution for
the original poster is that if the title of the note contains spaces,
the link has to look like this:
[[tomboy:my%20draft][draft]]
not like this:
> >>> ... [[tomboy:"my draft"]]
C-c C-l will encode spaces properly, but don't enter quotes (unless
your tomboy note really includes quotes in the title).
HTH,
Nick
