Yes, I suppose I should have looked into org-capture more thoroughly
before. One thing that I don't see how it would be possible with
org-capture is to have a function pre-guess what would be the best
target file and suggest that, so that I only have to press enter to
accept the guess in most cases, but still have the possibility to change
it.

If I understand correctly, the org-capture approach would be either to
create a capture template for each possible target org file - with that
there would be no pre-guessing - or create a single capture template
that uses a custom function to select the target file. With this, it
wouldn't be possible to change the suggested guess though. Maybe this is
not a big deal anyway and I should just use that approach, I'll think
about it.

Nothing wrong with insert, I just thought it would be good practice to
use org specific functions when doing things inside org-mode.

this also doesn't indent it properly. It seems to be related to
inserting a link - with normal text inserted it works. This reproduces
it:

(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect "/tmp/test.org")
  (save-excursion
    (end-of-buffer)
    (insert "* TODO " "[[file:~/.emacs.d/notmuch-stuff.el][This is a test]]")
    (org-set-tags-to ":mail:")
    (when org-auto-align-tags (org-align-tags-here org-tags-column))))

Right, (org-return) is over the top. Maybe even (newline) ?

I'll try to wrap my head around it later.

Thanks for the input!
