You mean a shell command to be executed in M-x shell-command? I did so, but the output was> I am confused. I don't understand the syntax. The line "find Documents/Org/> -type f -iname "*.org" -exec echo " * [[file:`realpath {}`][{}]]" >> meta-org.org \;" should be a function of its own?That was shell command. Like in bash, dash, zsh and similar.

For Emacs function it is like this one here:
;; setup here your main subtree
(setq my-org-dir "~/Documents/Org")
(defun my-meta-org ()
"Opens my meta-org.org on the fly with hyperlinks to other Org files."
(interactive)
(let ((org-files (directory-files my-org-dir t ".org"))
(meta-buffer "meta-org.org"))
(with-temp-buffer-window meta-buffer nil nil
(switch-to-buffer meta-buffer)
(org-mode)
(dolist (file org-files)
(insert (format "- [[%s][%s]]\n" file (file-name-base file)))))))
then run:
M-x my-meta-org
