Add support for org links

Open dakra opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Calling (org-store-link) in a normal buffer stores the link to the help buffer. Would be nice if helpful would support this too.

I was looking for this too.

I'm not familiar with this behaviour, could you explain? Calling org-store-link on what, in what kind of normal buffer?

Sorry for the confusing writing.. With 'normal buffer' I meant the buffer that opens when you call the normal help function like describe-variable. In there (and almost anywhere in Emacs actually) you can call org-store-link that saves a reference to that buffer+location. Then in your org file you can paste the stored link with org-insert-link.

I came here looking for this too. Adding error message for posterity:

user-error: No method for storing a link from this buffer
