If you're trying to do non-parsing automations in org, take a look at vulpea. It's roughly the same engine that powers the current version of org-roam. A good example application of this is the vino wine database: https://github.com/d12frosted/vino

Thanks, but is there something like that for plain org? I use org-roam for a few limited use cases. Most of my org stuff is not related to notes, and I don't put it in org-roam.

vulpea is designed to be usable under plain org; it's a separate package from org-roam.
