I like this idea. Reading your message from Sat, 29 Oct 2022 02:59:51 
+0000 I decided that for yourself you set up an Emacs frame as a pop-up 
to display capture result. However I believe it is better to use either 
org-clock or Emacs notify functions directly instead of notify-send tool.
Samuel, I suggested notify-send tool as a means to debug notifications 
in isolation (without `org-capture'). Have you managed to configure 
notification-daemon, dunst or some other alternative to get acceptable 
appearance and proper timeout before notification disappears.
