AFAIK, `read-file-name' kind of allow this, if one uses wildcards, but that approach is limited - not every combination of file names can be expressed via wildcards. I feel that such command should exist, but I cannot find it. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at . Support Org development at , or support my work at
