Re: [O] Mark-and-select an item in org-mode

[Samuel Wales]

you can select /agenda/ items with m.

you can select /outline/ entries with a tag, then operate in agenda on
items that have that tag.

would be interesting to have a command to collect [org-id links to all
entries that use a tag] and stick them in a central location.  dunno
if capture could do.
