Hi Jean and all,

for the sake of completeness, here is the prototype that I wrote:

  http://angg.twu.net/elisp/eev-rcd-tap-1.el
  http://angg.twu.net/elisp/eev-rcd-tap-1.el.html
  http://angg.twu.net/eev-videos/2023-eev-rcd-tap-1.mp4

It is similar to the module of eev that implements the function
`find-here-links', that creates links to "here". The first step of
`find-here-links' is to decide in what kind of "here" we are, and it
has to handle many cases. All my first attempts to (re)write it
yielded ugly code, and I found that that implementation with a little
DSL was much more readable.

  Cheers,
