I've implemented this behaviour for my Xmonad desktop. The solution
consists of two parts
1. The configuration of a shortcut calling a shell script in the Xmonad
configuration file .xmonad/xmonad.hs
2. A shell script simulating the keystrokes to change to the virtual
desktop were my Emacs lives and calling org-capture.
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
#!/bin/sh
xdotool key Super+m 7
emacsclient -e '(org-capture)'
#xdotool key Super+0
#+END_SRC
