Request for comment: Adding feature to calculate Org table reference from selected text region

[Charles Choi]

Hello folks!

I recently made a blog post describing a means of calculating an Org table 
reference from a selected text region or rectangle. I think this feature is 
compelling enough to put into Org itself and as such I am raising this idea 
with this group to gauge interest.

This idea and its implementation are detailed in 
http://yummymelon.com/devnull/referencing-org-table-cells-with-text-regions.html

I'm happy to respond to any feedback on this idea here. Also to clarify, I'm 
much more interested in feedback for the idea and less so on its current 
implementation. It is my hope that if the idea of it is appealing enough, an 
optimal implementation can be made by this group.

Thanks and best regards -

Charles
