Dear Experts,
I am a little confused about how file links are supposed to work in orgmode.
I have a link like [[file:/tmp/bug.bib::a bug][blah]] linking to a
BiBTeX file but when I try to follow it via C-c C-o it just goes to the
top of the file. Interestingly, when I open the file and set it to be in
text mode and then follow the link, org puts me to the proper place in
the file.
I suspect that org-mode is getting confused with the file search feature
when it opens a BiBTeX file.
Why do I care? I'd like to be able to use a function like the one below
to link to bib items:
(defun store-bibtex-link ()
"Make link to a bibtex entry.
Calling this function inside a BiBTeX entry will create a link to that
entry and store it so you can extract it via C-c C-l. This is useful
for making links to BiBTeX items from your org files.
"
(interactive)
(let* ((title (bibtex-autokey-get-field "title"))
(myfile (buffer-file-name))
(mylink (format "file:%s::%s" myfile title))
)
(setq org-stored-links (cons (list mylink title) org-stored-links))
(message "Stored: %s" (or title mylink))
))
An example of the bug.bib illustrating the problem is shown below
% start bug.bib
% foo
% bar
@article{me98,
title={a bug},
author={me},
journal={it},
year=1998,
}
%blah
