I can configure org-refile-targets to match headings in an org file with a certain tag. Can I do an arbitrary tag match? I'm interested in headings without a certain tag.

(For example, I'd like to suppress headings with an ARCHIVE tag, or some kind of "done" or "ignore" tag.)

  • How would that work with refiling? Most headings would not have the tag I imagine, so refile would pick the first one of those? Even if it could be done, it doesn't seem very useful: you generally want to refile to a well-defined place.

  • In my particular file, most of the headings do have the tag that I want to ignore.

  • It still seems simpler to just add a refilehere tag to a unique headline to mark the spot.

This isn't exactly the kind of tag/property search I asked about, but there is org-refile-target-verify-function which is called for each of the targets initially considered; you can do arbitrary logic with that function to determine if the entry should be considered a target. You can use org-get-tags: something involving

(member "sometag" (org-get-tags))
