Here is my detailed problem exposition exported from org:
1 executive summary
===================
I want to start at a child node and clock into the grandparent rather than
the current child at point in a capture task
2 my capture
============
,----
| ("f" "video game" entry (file+olp+datetree
"~/org/videoGameImprovement.org")
| "* %<%Y-%m-%d %H:%M>\n** game notes
| *** %?
| ** video(s)
| *** video 1
| **** note 1 for video 1
| " :clock-in t)
`----
3 what happens
==============
I'm clocked into the place where `%?' takes me in the capture template
4 what I want to happen
=======================
I want to land at the first child of the `game notes' node but clock
into the `%<%Y-%m-%d %H:%M>' node 2 levels up
5 what I don't know how to do
=============================
5.1 In the capture template, I don't know how I could selectively use my
own implementation of `org-clock-in'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5.1.1 Maybe I could have some sort of local binding surrounding just that
capture which would be used?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 5.1.1.1 advice?
* 5.1.1.2 is an `add-hook' possible only within a certain scope?
Thanks,
Cody

You can execute arbitrary Elisp code in a capture template:
%(sexp)
You can use it for side effects, i.e., clocking in the appropriate
place.
