That comment was totally inappropriate for a public mailing list.

Yes I probably can.  I can think of many ways of doing exactly that.
I wasn't aware of the existence of the hook and that's why I chose to
ask. That's what I was looking for - a pointer. Thanks.

There seem to be many inconsistencies between the particular versions
I am using and the public documentation and I appreciate that the code
is probably evolving rapidly.  I note the difference in documentation
between master in the code repository and what is currently on the
public facing web site and that I ought to build the documentation
specific to the version I am using.  The experience gave me the
feeling that there might be something relevant which is not well or at
all documented.

If I read the entire reference manual of every piece of software I use
I would have no time to carry out the actual tasks I use these tools
for.  It would be morally correct to read the reference manual
cover-to-cover to find out the best approach to solving a problem.  I
think it is unfair to categorise this post as of the 'too lazy to look
up something in the manual' form as I had provided a concrete example
and what I wanted to achieve and as I tried to hint at - not a highly
experienced Emacs-lisp developer or emacs-org user having spent very
little time (a day) exposed to org-mode.  Occasionally one needs a
steer in the right direction, that is all.

I think what needs to be appreciated is that there will be a spectrum
of users on the one end who are active Emacs-lisp developers who have
familiarity with the codebase all the way to people appreciative of
the open source efforts but that do not have the time or inclination
to act as developers on yet another project unrelated to their work.

Yes. I found this immediately after posting and thanks for the tip
about org-lint.
