Those references were very helpful.

Org has already some nice capturing abilities, like rmail, one can
capture (I guess) the link to message ID, or URL in eww and so on.

I hope now that org-protocol is generic and does not only do stuff for
Org that I can capture other things too.

But in general I wonder how does that bookmarklet work. I was looking
inside and I think it works by converting or redirecting the page to
new protocol like http:// only this time org-protocol:// and then
based on that protocol it is opening a handler. If somebody knows if
this is correct, let me know.

As this feature then can be used then that I make protocol for myself,
that I can capture into the database, only not with org-protocol.

After inspection I can see that org-protocol.el have been made
generic! Bingo!

Hide Org Protocol Protocol Alist:
INS
    State : STANDARD.
   Register custom handlers for org-protocol. Hide

So that means that little different captures can be made into anything
and not only to Org.

Thank you for hints, without it I would not soon find out about that.
