You can jump to the current entry in a number of ways. There is the function org-agenda-goto. Within the agenda, you can also get the markers for the current entry with: (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker) (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker) You can use these markers (usually with save-excursion or save-window-excursion) to jump to the function and alter it. The code of org-agenda-todo provides a nice example of this. It would be nice if this functionality were abstracted a bit in org-agenda.el. Right now, each of the org-agenda editing commands (org-agenda-todo, org-agenda-set-tags, org-agenda-priority, org-agenda-add-note, etc.) reimplements the same behavior.
