Ok.  If this is yet another bickshed, I'll drop from the discussion.

If the point is before the "a", that means the point is right after
the link, it should open `link1' instead of `link2', IMNSHO.  This
isn't even the previous behavior, I admit, but if you move the pointer
to the end of the line (that's right after the link2), it _opened_
links2. This behavior works quite well with Emacs' cursor movement.

Both should report "No link found".  `org-end-of-line' takes care of
`visual-line-mode', why not `org-open-at-link'?
