Hi Max, thank you for the answer. I have abandoned the idea 😀. Yes, org-mks is the one that does the lifting, you can see my other answers to Ihor., where I am playing with an example "usage pattern", that uses org-select-template which uses org-mks underto achieve a similar goal as you present here.

There is `org-insert-structure-template' C-c C-, Doesn't the following code do what you are asking for? (let ((entry (org-mks `(("a" "A entry" ,#'identity) ("b" "B entry" ,(lambda (x) (* 2 x)))) "A or B"))) (funcall (nth 2 entry) 10))
