Yes; you're right!

It does work. THANKS! -- I prefer it over my own version.

I thought there could exist some way to (pre-)send the input to be read
when prompted by a function. It seems not (I guess you'd have mentioned
it otherwise...).

I wonder as well how I could do the `execute-kbd-macro' if there wasn't
a key bound to the command I'm interested in. I tried things like the
following, with no success:

     (execute-kbd-macro "M-x org-insert-link\C-m")

Best regards,
  Seb
