org-capture: distinguishing denote as a target from other/regular org buffers

[DivineDominion]

So I have this function that adds a properties drawer to the captured item via org-capture-before-finalize-hook.

I also use org-capture to quickly append journal entries to denote-managed journal files. There, I don't want the hook to execute.

So I'm trying to write a org-capture-targeting-denote-p predicate of sorts.

I tried to find a way to distinguish "is this going into denote" from all other capture targets but I couldn't get the info from org-capture-plist to do the job:

(:immediate-finish nil :empty-lines-after 1 :jump-to-captured t :key "j" :description "New note (with Denote)" :target #'ct/denote-journal-filename ...)

This looks promising:

:target #'ct/denote-journal-filename

So a noob elisp question: how can I compare the function reference/symbols in a condition?

(eq (org-capture-get :target) #'ct/denote-journal-filename) ; nil :(

I'm now thinking about changing the approach to not automatically and silently add the property drawer, but make it part of the capture template strings instead, so that the denote capture template doesn't inherit this behavior. Nevertheless, the predicate sounds potentially useful to share with others, so I'd like to check what would be the best way to approach this :)

Example: the hook in question

(defvar ct/org-created-property-name "CREATED"
  "The name of the org-mode property that stores the creation date of the entry")

(defun ct/org-set-created-property (&optional active NAME)
  "Set a property on the entry giving the creation time.

By default the property is called CREATED. If given the `NAME'
argument will be used instead. If the property already exists, it
will not be modified."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((created (or NAME ct/org-created-property-name))
         (fmt (if active "<%s>" "[%s]"))
         (now (format fmt (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M"))))
    (unless (org-entry-get (point) created nil)
      (org-set-property created now))))

(add-hook 'org-capture-before-finalize-hook #'ct/org-set-created-property)

So one way to write the condition I tried is this:

(string= (format "%s" (org-capture-get :target)) 
         (format "%s" #'ct/denote-journal-filename))

But the first one returns "#'ct/org-set-created-property", the second returns "ct/org-set-created-property". I'm surely missing something here -- an indirection in the plist that I don't get.

Adding another quote works, but quoting a function-quoted form again...?

(string= (format "%s" (org-capture-get :target)) 
         (format "%s" '#'ct/denote-journal-filename))

Edit: ah, works with equal (but not eq) in quoted function-quoted form, too:

(equal (org-capture-get :target) '#'ct/denote-journal-filename)
