I'm not sure if there's something incredibly simple I'm missing here,
but is there a way to just select an org-mode item when a cursor is on
top of an org-mode item?
I checked google/org-mode documentation and I can't find anything. So
I went through the source code and noticed that procedure
"org-move-item-up" has a function, "point-at-bol", that return the
position of the line item that the cursor is standing on top of. I
would imagine it would be trivial to do a "select mark" command for
that item after that.
Two questions:
1) Is there already an org-mode function that select or delete an
org-mode line item?
2) If not, is it possible to do a "set-mark-command" on an org-mode line
item (possibly derived from the "point-at-bol" command)?
I am somewhat new to emacs-lisp, and I plan to "play around with it"
to get it to do what I want it to do, but I thought I'd through it on
the maillist to see if I am barking up the right tree. If it's not a
feature in org-mode, I'm sure I can write my own function for it and,
in the spirit of emacs, throw a patch to the project if wanted.

Could you describe more precisely what you want to do, possibly with an
example. I don't understand what is an "org-mode line item".

you can select /agenda/ items with m.
you can select /outline/ entries with a tag, then operate in agenda on
items that have that tag.
would be interesting to have a command to collect [org-id links to all
entries that use a tag] and stick them in a central location. dunno
if capture could do.
