Add org-store-link Entry for elfeed
Elfeed
Elfeed is a RSS client for Emacs. I've been using elfeed to read all my rss feeds for a long time. And I really wish it can have some integrations with org-mode like mu4e. So that I can capture a link to a RSS news entry to my notes and jump to this directly using the link.
A Hack Way
So I posted a feature request on Elfeed's github page. And I got this note from @heikkil: Note taking 3: Notes from elfeed entries - Heikki @ home. This solution can do the trick for me, but this is not what I want.
The ideal way
Then I spent 30 minutes to improve his codes. And I got this based on Adding hyperlink types - The Org Manual:
;; --------------------- ;; org capture in elfeed ;; --------------------- (defun private/org-elfeed-entry-store-link () (when elfeed-show-entry (let* ((link (elfeed-entry-link elfeed-show-entry)) (title (elfeed-entry-title elfeed-show-entry))) (org-store-link-props :link link :description title) ))) (add-hook 'org-store-link-functions 'private/org-elfeed-entry-store-link)
After adding this hook, I can now use a template like this to capture what I am reading in elfeed to an org-mode entry in my refile.org file:
(setq org-capture-templates '(("l" "Link" entry (file "~/Org/refile.org") "* %a\n%U") ))
