> Upon closer look at the `org-capture`, `org-capture-set-target-location` and `org-capture-place-entry`, I'm starting to realize that "file+function" can be used for what I'm looking for. I was just worried about the use of `(org-capture-put :exact-position (point))` My disappointing attempt at using file+function target to replicate my idea (defun my/diary-capture-find-headline () (let* ((entries (org-map-entries (lambda () (list (org-element-property :title (org-element-at-point)) (org-element-property :begin (org-element-at-point)))) "LEVEL=1")) (final-pos) (final-pos (dolist (entry entries final-pos) (pcase-let ((`(,title ,begin) entry)) (let* ((diff-time (time-subtract (current-time) (org-time-string-to-time title))) (diff-secs (nth 1 diff-time)) (5-mins-in-secs (* 5 60))) (if (< diff-secs 5-mins-in-secs) (setq final-pos (goto-char begin)) final-pos)))))) (unless final-pos (goto-char (point-max)) (unless (bolp) (insert "\n")) (insert "\n* ") (let ((current-prefix-arg '(16))) (call-interactively #'org-time-stamp-inactive)) (beginning-of-line)))) (setopt org-capture-templates '(("d" "Diary Template" entry (file (lambda () (expand-file-name (concat org-directory "Diary" "/" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d.org"))))) "* %U\n%?" :empty-lines 1) ("p" "Diary Item Capture Test" item (file+function (lambda () (expand-file-name (concat org-directory "Diary" "/" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d.org")))) my/diary-capture-find-headline) "- %?" :empty-lines 0)))
