Nice! That looks like exactly what I wanted. Not sure how I missed that in my apropos search. I think I may have only searched for `headline` or something.

I am not sure if this is exactly what you're asking, but for programatic heading edits I am using this snippet: 

(let ((headline-only-text (org-get-heading t t t t)))
  (org-edit-headline (concat "Web-page: " headline-only-text)))

Probably the better way is to use org element API, but for small, rarely executed personal helpers I think this is OK.

I'm Wondering If There's Builtin Support For Editing Components Of The Heading? I'm Trying To Set The Text Component (I.E. `(Nth 4 (Org-Heading-Components))`) Without Altering Anything Else And While I Can Obviously Achieve This With Generic Elisp I Wanted To Be Sure I Had To.I'm wondering if there's builtin support for editing components of the heading?

The cleanest elisp I came up with was:

```
(save-excursion
  (org-back-to-heading t)
  (let (case-fold-search)
    (looking-at org-complex-heading-regexp)
    (replace-match text t t nil 4)
    (org-align-tags)))

```
