in maint and bugfix i frequently do org-store-link on a
heading that has a properties drawer with an id in it.
my intent is to store it so that i can paste the link later
with org-insert-link.
i frequently get "This link has already been
stored". perhaps this is meant to teach me that i can find
it in org-insert-link? there are 2 problems with that for
me in practice:
1) i want to store it anyway so i can use the
mindless store-insert combination.
2) org-insert-link, with my ido setup, and i am aware other
completion mechanisms exist but find it difficult to
switch, offers as completion candidates a completely
useless list.
idk how to show you the list but it looks kinda sorta like this:
id:2134123-11234123-41234123--12341
eww:
gnus:
...
id:44242423-23452-345-234-523452-345
...
as there is no description and the presumably useful ids
are near te bottom it is useless to try to use
org-insert-link. so idk what the solution is.
i tried setting (setq org-link-make-description-function
t) but that made no noticeable difference. i am probably
doing somethign wrong someplace. i hope using ido is ok.
i'd switch to vertico if i could get it closer to my ido.
what i woul dlike to see is, for there to be no
error/warning in org-store-link, and for org-insert-link
to show me link descriptions and maybe id also.
ideas?
thanks.
