I'm trying to create a link that takes an elisp expression and evaluates it
in another buffer. Here's what I've come up with

1. C-c C-l
2. choose elisp:
3. In the mini buffer:
    Link: elisp:(with-output-to-temp-buffer "scratch" (print 20))
    Description: Print 20

Okay, this calls up the scratch buffer and prints out 20. But how would I
call up scratch and, say, change its mode to lisp with
(lisp-interaction-mode)? I can try:

 Link: elisp:(with-output-to-temp-buffer "scratch" (eval
'(lisp-interaction-mode)))

but this only seems to change my active org file's org-mode to
lisp-interaction-mode. Not a pretty sight. My Messages says:

Execute "(with-output-to-temp-buffer "scratch" (eval
'(lisp-interaction-mode)))" as elisp?  y
(with-output-to-temp-buffer "scratch" (eval '(lisp-interaction-mode))) =>
nil

But of course
 [[elisp:(zone)][zone]]

is kinda exciting...

What am I doing wrong?
