As in, if you follow (open?) a file link, how is the file handled (particularly, for me, JPG, PNG, MP4, etc.)? What's the process by which an image gets inlined? Do I have to install some image processor to do that? If so, which? Or can I adjust a variable to use my chosen image processor? >> 2.

I think, what I want is org-open-at-point (which could be mentioned in 4.4), but it's documentation string just says the linked file will be opened by "an appropriate application". I assume that that means some Elisp function is called that cross-references the file type with appropriate application. And that I could add to or adjust the cross-reference list for new/modified file types. It would be nice to mention that list variable so that I could trace the process further and determine what to do (like install the appropriate application). Does this help for what I'm looking for? -- David Masterson
