Description

Today, Org-ql let user search for entries into multiple Org-mode files. Each entries is an Org-mode heading, that could be a note, a task or a document section.

This feature request is about extend the result to more types of results, like:

  • Org-mode file
  • Images
  • Bloc of code
  • Tables
  • Or any element that could be named
  • Links

This would let user search for other elements in files, like the schema they have done on another note with a PlantUML code block, or the image they have added to this other task. They could also search for Org-mode files, based on #+TITLE, #+AUTHOR or #+DATE values.

This feature could open possibilities for new features like:

  • With a dynamic block, built a table of each Org-mode files present in a folder, sort them by date and show their author, date and their title as a link to the file (Can be useful to make the home page of a blog made with Org-mode)
  • Copy an image or source code bloc from another note to the current one

Such feature is a big change, and it's maybe out of scope for Org-ql.

Etc.
