[O] mktemp for orgmode
Hi, I sometimes wonder if there is something like mktemp[1] in org-mode as, e.g., a built-in macro. For example, PlantUML in orgmode[2] requires a file header argument to write the image output to: ":file myoutput.svg" In most cases, I really don't care about the output file and its location. I just want to see it in my org-mode buffer and in various output formats like PDF or HTML. When I don't want to trash my org folder, I have to use ":file /tmp/tmp.svg". The downside of it is, that this only works for non-Windows systems because there is no "/tmp" on Windows. Therefore, it would be cool to have something like {{{tmpfile}}} that I could use in :file {{{tmpfile}}} However, there is still an issue with this approach: what if I need multiple separate {{{tmpfile}}} for, e.g., multiple PlantUML blocks that are within the same heading and therefore get exported at once? And: as a consequence, it would require {{{tmpdir}}} as well.
