Subject: RE: using (id "Name") target in org-capture-templates

Thanks for the note. I did indeed mean to use headings.
I think it would be nice to be able to have the file dynamic but the heading static in capture templates. In my case, I always want to find a particular heading in the buffer that the capture originated from. So I had to put the whole target spec in a function, as in:
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("t" "Todo (local)" entry
(function (lambda ()
(set-buffer (org-capture-get :original-buffer))
(let ((hd "Tasks"))
(goto-char (point-min))
(if (re-search-forward
(format org-complex-heading-regexp-format (regexp-quote hd))
nil t)
(beginning-of-line 2)
(goto-char (point-max))
(or (bolp) (insert "\n"))
(insert "* " hd "\n")
(beginning-of-line 0)))))
...
most of which is copied from the file+heading case in org-capture.el
What I'd like to be able to write in an org-capture-template is something like:
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("t" "Todo (local)" entry
(function+heading
(lambda () (org-capture-get :original-buffer))
"Tasks"))
...
Where the function sets the buffer, but org machinery is used to match the heading.
Another idiom would be to allow a string-returning function wherever a string is currently allowed for the file target, so the above would be instead:
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("t" "Todo (local)" entry
(file+heading
(lambda () (org-capture-get :original-buffer))
"Tasks"))
...
The last is my preferred, as it would apply to all of the "file+headline", "file+olp", "file+regexp", etc. target specifications in allowed for org-capture-templates.
Thanks.

Be careful: "heading" is not "id".
from the documentation of the variable in the file org-mode/lisp/org-capture.el
target: (id \"id of existing org entry\")
File as child of this entry, or in the body of the entry
Do you have a tree like the following?
* Tasks
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: Tasks
:END:
If yes, then it works, if the :ID: value is unique.
cheers,
Giovanni
