Auto-activate new <<<radio targets>>>

Auto-activate new <<<radio targets>>>

I want to call org-update-radio-target-regexp as soon as org-mode recognises a new <<<radio target>>> has been created (which seems to happen as soon as the third ">" is typed).

What hook can I use to get this done?

I'm not spotting any hook that could be used for this.  The <<<target>>>
fontification happens through a simple 'regular expression => face'
mapping in org-font-lock-keywords.

You're probably aware of this and it's just not as automatic as you'd
like, but just in case: pressing `C-c C-c' with point on <<<target>>
will call org-update-radio-target-regexp.

I guess the place to do it is with an advice on org-activate-links. Maybe a
simple after advice would do.

Thanks John! It looks like there is also an org-activate-target-links which may narrow the field a bit. Here is what I have so far:

(defadvice org-activate-target-links (after ad-update-target-links ())
  "Activate radio target links as soon as a new target is created."
  (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    (when (and (org-in-regexp org-target-regexp)
	       (not (org-in-regexp org-target-regexp nil t)))
      (org-update-radio-target-regexp))))
(ad-activate 'org-activate-target-links)

Unfortunately, this is not working for me...

Any ideas?

org-activate-target-links _depends_ on org-update-radio-target-regexp
being called to update org-target-link-regexp, so I don't think it's a
candidate for a place to hook into if you want
org-update-radio-target-regexp to be triggered on typing <<<target>>>.
