I'm not sure what you mean here.  AFAICT, there are already several
such commands.

- To insert a new headline, type 'M-RET'.
- To insert a source block, type '< s TAB'.
- To insert org export headers, type ''C-c C-e #'.
- To schedule a headline for later, type 'C-c C-s'.
- To insert a link, type 'C-c C-l'.
- etc.
