I also posted this to the mailing list - I hope this isn't a duplicate?

Is there a function create a TODO item from any file - at the moment I call
"remember" which has the necessary hooks into org mode, but remember and
org-remember all insist on making a link. This doesn't work from a temprorary or
non-linkable buffer. I'm sure there is a function to bind to a global key to
create a non linked "task" but I can't see it. Thanks for any help.

Also, I have

(setq org-return-follows-link t)

but hitting return on a link in an org file in org-mode simply breaks the link.
Os there something else I need to set to make org-return follow a link?

(No duplicate here.)

What is the value of `org-remember-templates'?

If the template doesn't contain any "%a" or "%A" string, then it won't
insert a link to the buffer you're calling `org-remember' from.

Try this for example:

(setq org-remember-templates '((?n "* TODO %?\n  %i\n")))

Works nice here: even with "%a" or "%A" in my template, if the buffer is
non-linkable, then the link will just be ignored.

Yes, do check there; my use of remember never creates links now!
