Yes, it felt a bit hackish. But I'm new to this level of Org coding.

Can you provide a more obvious hint? :) I've read the documentation on called-interactively-p but have not had success yet with that function. The bottom of that doc string suggests this is not an appropriate use for it.

I've read the manual part on "Distinguish Interactive Calls"[1] but working through those examples I can't get deeper called functions to know if the nth-parent was called interactively or not.

Would you solve this issue somewhere completely different? Like an advice around the org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c function or something?

Thanks,

  -k.
