Yes, this may be difficult to implement... (although in org-mode, a lot
of things I thought were difficult or nearly impossible are actually
there. I guess my expectation has been elevated. :))
I think typing the file name will be more work (I am lazy :)) than
pressing the space key, so I prefer the current setting.
Thank you.
