Thanks for thanking! :-) But deep down, I'm really doing this tool for
myself, and only then share it with others. Given the amount of notes I
handle, such a tool is inescapable, it is a question of survival :-).

The list gnus-mark-article-hook, which is there for customization, has
the function gnus-summary-mark-read-and-unread-as-read by default. I
guess that if the hook list was empty, articles would be displayed and
not automatically marked as read.

I would not think one should modify his Gnus habits or methods merely
because Org has a tool to search in Gnus. Org uses Gnus, but Gnus
should not be disturbed because of that.

But I do not want to tick (or bang) articles because I do Org searches.
When really in Gnus, if I want to keep an article, I unread it. But
that does not mean I consider this article especially important. If I
want to mark an article as important, I bang it, and as a consequence,
Gnus unread it. Banging all articles I want to keep unread is not only
overkill, but it spoils the bang mark, which I find very useful for
other purposes than Org.

One possibility (untested, so I'm not sure) is that when following a
"gnus:" link, Org could use something like:
(let ((gnus-mark-article-hook nil))
(ACCESS-THE-gnus:-LINK))
