It occurs from time to time that I wish to refile to an open file, that
is not one of my org-refile-targets. It doesn't make sense to use
org-agenda-files for refile targets since I might have other files open
for various reasons. So I thought, why not either declare that any open
file is a refile target, or else write a function that will execture
org-refile with org-refile-targets set to include all open files. In
truth, it would be even better to include org-agenda-files in the set of
target files.
I have been using the function oog in org-occur-goto.el to search any
open file, so somewhere in that file is a way to find open files. What
remains is to use some condition from this file to declare
org-refile-targets. I understand that a function can be used as a
value of this variable.
I could spend all night working on this, or, ask on this list.
Can anyone point to a good way to declare that BOTH all open
buffers/files AND org-agenda-files as org-refile-targets?
A hint would help.

Look at the function oog-check-input. I believe it checks buffer-list
and the major-mode for each buffer to determine whether to include it
in the search.

Dear All,
Similar to this previous post, I am trying to file orgmode items to
files/buffers currently opened. Being elisp rookie, I tried and came up with
the following:
(defun opened-buffer-files ()
"Return the list of files currently opened in emacs"
(delq nil (mapcar (function buffer-file-name) (buffer-list)))
)
(setq org-refile-targets (quote ((opened-buffer-files :maxlevel . 5)
(org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 5))))
Not suprisingly, it's not working ... I still can not get to the opened
file/orgmode files, as target for filing. Can you help point out where I did
it all wrong?
Simiarly, I would like to add all opened buffers to agenda files list. I
would really appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Isaac

Some parts of my configuration [1,2] may be close to what you want (or
at least give you something to start with). More recently, I've been
using a slightly different approach [3] inspired by `dired-dwim-target'.

Perhaps you should return instead only the org mode files that are
opened, something like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(delq nil
(mapcar (lambda (x)
(if (and (buffer-file-name x)
(string-match "\\.org$"
(buffer-file-name x)))
(buffer-file-name x)))
(buffer-list)))
#+END_SRC
Best,

Excellent idea: refiling to an arbitrary non-org-mode file will either
skip the file (if you are lucky, in which case you just pay a
performance penalty) or it will try to use it in which case you'll end
up with an error. There is no point in including arbitrary files into
the refile list.

It might be better to check the major mode of the buffer, rather than
its filename: it is not necessarily true that foo.org is an org-mode
file, or foo.txt is not. But in general, I think it would be better to
use a more targeted approach, rather than trying to use whatever happens
to be open at the time.

There's a built-in Org function that does this.
#+begin_src elisp
(org-buffer-list 'files)
#+end_src

Thanks Kyle, Jorge, Nick and everybody!
Below is the working piece, I take pieces here and there,
grateful to everyone's help:
(defun ixp/org-buffer-files ()
"Return list of opened orgmode buffer files"
(mapcar (function buffer-file-name)
(org-buffer-list 'files)))
(setq org-refile-targets
(quote ((nil :maxlevel . 3)
(ixp/org-buffer-files :maxlevel . 1)
(org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 3))))
It's posted on emacs wiki as well
