I keep a lot of headlines tagged "question" that I
want to review before a daily meeting.
Currently I keep questions tagged with "question", and can
easily do an agenda search for them. No problem.
Before a daily meeting, I create a daily meeting headline
like this:
* Daily Mtg 05/11/2011
Then, I do an agenda search for questions.
What I'm looking for is a way to query for
headlines tagged "question", and bring the results of that query into
the Daily Mtg 05/11/2011 headline -- preferably with
links to the questions to easily jump to them.
This way, I have a record that I asked certain questions,
and I can easily stay within my Daily Mtg headine, and not jump
to / from agenda and back to the daily mtg headline, which tends
to break my concentration.
Essentially, it would be a clock report, with links, except
it would not need to filter by any time/clocking information.
<Edit> I just found that I can copy the results of the agenda
into my headline, and simply surround the headings with [[ and ]], which
turns them into links. This will work for the time being.
I suspect that another answer is a dynamic block. Anyone
else doing something similar?
Thanks,
--Nate

Here's one implementation:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-dblock-write:insert-links (params)
"Dblock function to insert links to headlines that match
tags/properties search string specified by :match."
(let ((match (plist-get params :match))
links)
(unless match
(error "Must specify :match parameter"))
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(let ((heading (nth 4 (org-heading-components))))
(add-to-list 'links
(format "- [[file:%s::*%s][%s]]\n"
(abbreviate-file-name
(buffer-file-name))
heading heading))))
match 'agenda)
(apply #'insert links)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You could then create a dblock by typing C-c C-c on the following
#+begin: insert-links :match questions
#+end:
This would still need to be refined, as there are problems when a
headline contains a link, but it's meant to provide a quick proof of
concept.
Best,
Matt

Correction: this should be:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin: insert-links :match "questions"
#+end:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks Matt!
If it's not too much trouble for you, may I ask how I would filter
out DONE, etc questions?

Sure, no problem at all!
#+begin: insert-links :match "questions/-DONE"
Or, if you want to filter out all inactive todos:
#+begin: insert-links :match "questions/!"
Best,
Matt
