Thanks, I didn't think about it, though it's not exactly what I'm
looking for.  My dream setup is like this: I bind globally C-c C-x C-i
to something, and when typing this key sequence /outside/ Org-mode, I
am asked about a /node/ somewhere in my Org files (preferably with
autocompletion, like refiling).  Then, apart from starting the clock, a
file-local variable remembering this node is added /to the file I'm in/
(as a comment at the end, for instance), so that the /next/ time I'm
editing this file, C-c C-x C-i just starts clocking.

Best,
