I agree that changing the current behavior of
`org-link-open-from-string' may be problematic, however I don't think
that it's worth to introduce the optional argument just for this "bug".
I would just use the let from I suggested:
(let ((org-link-abbrev-alist
(append org-link-abbrev-alist org-link-abbrev-alist-local)))
...)
but instead of doing it in the definition of
`org-link-open-from-string', do it in `org-open-at-point-global',
like this:
(cond ((org-in-regexp org-link-any-re)
(let ((org-link-abbrev-alist
(append org-link-abbrev-alist org-link-abbrev-alist-local)))
(org-link-open-from-string (match-string-no-properties 0))))
...)
or in `org-open-at-point', like this:
(cond
...
((memq type '(comment comment-block node-property keyword))
(let ((org-link-abbrev-alist
(append org-link-abbrev-alist org-link-abbrev-alist-local)))
(call-interactively #'org-open-at-point-global)))
...)
What do you think?
