If you are even more curious: the code that fills the template is in - surprise! - `org-capture-fill-template'. "%a" gets expanded to the value of this expression: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (let ((a (or (plist-get org-store-link-plist :annotation) annotation (org-capture-get :annotation) ""))) ;; Is the link empty? Then we do not want it... (if (equal a "[[]]") "" a)) #+end_src look for a helper var named `v-a' in that defun. Michael.
