That's correct.

Probably the best is to use an Applescript like below, and save it in
~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari. You can kick off this
Applescript using a variety of methods (Quicksilver, menu bar, etc.)

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/08/tuaw-tip-enable-the-applescript-menu/


tell application "Safari"
	set theUrl to URL of document 1
	set theName to the name of the document 1
	set theOrglink to "[[" & theUrl & "][" & theName & "]]"
	set the clipboard to theOrglink
end tell

activate application "Emacs"

-- this last bit is iffy, since Emacs will not always have an org file
--  open in the frame that pops up. 
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "y" using control down
end tell

Hope this helps.
