Link diary Event to Org Heading

Suppose you want to schedule a recurring meeting in the diary, yet you want to access an org heading for note-taking and clocking time. You can add a link to that org heading in the description of the diary event.

Here's how I'd do it:

  • Place point on the desired Org heading
  • Invoke org-store-link, which might be bound to C-c l
  • In the diary file...
    • Add the date expression for the corresponding event. In this example, we'll schedule an event that occurs from 7pm to 8pm on the third Tuesday of every month.
      • %%(diary-float t 2 3) 19:00-20:00
    • Add a space and then the link as the event description with M-x org-insert-link
      • Note that C-c C-l might not bound to org-insert-link in diary-mode
  • That's it!
