Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for this information.

Reading the `org-gnus-store-link' function, I see that is set: type,
file, node, link and description.

I have seen that the variable `org-link-parameters' list all the defined
org links. With its different functions, including the store function
(associated with :store parameter).

I wonder if I can write an Elisp function that retrieve all the
properties set for each org link types and tell we at which mode they
are used. After all, with Elisp code could be data too.

But not now.

Anyway, thank you very much. I will explore starting from
`org-link-parameters', as it seems to have a lot of org links.

This morning, I have explored how org-capture work. Especially the
capture subprotocol. I think I will need to make another subprotocol.
Maybe a "capture-plus" that will accept any keys and make all of them
accessible as a '%:keymord'.

Can you tell me more about this ?

Is there any change planned for org-protocole in Emacs 30 ?

The big advantage for org-protocole, is that it's based on an URL that
any external software can recognize and pass to Emacs and it's easy to
write a custom sub-protocole.
