{ M-x customize-variable RET org-file-apps RET } opens my customization of variable org-file-apps which has the entry: Hide Org File Apps: INS DEL Cons-cell: Choice: Value Menu Extension: \.gif\' Choice: Value Menu Function: (lambda (file link) (let ((my-image (create-image file)) (tmpbuf (get-buffer-create "*gif"))) (switch-to-buffer tmpbuf) (erase-buffer) (insert-image my-image) (image-animate my-image nil t))) AFAICS with this setting a press of RET on a gif with animation in an Org file opens an extra buffer that shows the animation.
