[FR]: thing-at-point 'org-table-cell

Hi,

It would be great to have a thing-at-point handler that returns a cell in
and org table. The most simple use case is to have a table in an org-file
with data that you need to transfer to an online Web page. Being able to
(copy-as-kill ...) a cell's contents could speed up the whole process...

Thx, /PA

May you please elaborate on how exactly `thing-at-point' will help copy-as-kill?

Hi Ihor, of course this was just an example. The thing-at-point would make it easier to write a copy-as-kill-cell function.

Best,/PA

Then, you can just use `org-element-context' and/or `org-element-at-point'.
