Or as a side-note not relevant to org-mode: With hippie-expand one can
complete path names (and various other things like completing "3 * 2 ="
to " 3 * 2 = 6") in every part of emacs. Just put
,----[ C-h f try-complete-file-name-partially RET ]
| try-complete-file-name-partially is a compiled Lisp function in
| `hippie-exp.el'.
|
| (try-complete-file-name-partially old)
|
| Try to complete text as a file name, as many characters as unique.
| The argument old has to be nil the first call of this function. It
| returns t if a unique, possibly partial, completion is found, nil
| otherwise.
`----
into `hippie-expand-try-functions-list' and bind `hippie-expand' to some
key.
Bye,
Tassilo
