I love all of the options that are available for inclusion in remember templates. I've got templates for the kinds of tasks I create most often. But sometimes I find myself saying "man, I wish I could just tack a %^G onto this template", or something similar. These aren't task types that I use often enough to justify giving them their own templates, but I still want to have access to the features offered in remember templates. Would it be possible to build a single-use remember template through prompts at the minibuffer? I imagine that I would call org-remember, and one of the options would be "[i]nteractive". Upon hitting i, a menu (like the one for fast tag selection) would come up. It would look like t: timestamp T: timestamp with time u: inactive timestamp c: clipboard contents g: tag selection from target file k: insert keyword information [...] Pressing any of the keys would either enter that feature in the current remember buffer, or open the appropriate prompt in the minibuffer. This has several advantages over just visiting the appropriate file and entering the task manually: single key strokes for some common operations (e.g. timestamps), access to link keywords, file inclusion, and sexp evaluation. It might also be possible to use this to extend an existing template on a per-use basis. I could call org-remember, and instead of hitting "t" for my todo template, I would hit C-u t. This would insert the normal contents of my todo template, but also prompt for additional template options. Is something like this possible?
