It that case you need to remember the REPL buffer (perhaps as a buffer
local variable in the original org file, or maybe using your original
hash table idea), and then just set the buffer-local variable
geise-repl--repl to the REPL buffer in the the temporary buffer you want
to evaluate just before invoking the geiser-mode command
