I have recently upgraded my org-mode version, switching from emacs 29.4/org-mode 9.6.15 to emacs 29.4/org-mode 9.7.20. To my understanding, some relatively recent upgrade to org-contacts requires a newer org-mode version.
I use org-contacts to display birthdays and anniversaries in my agenda. In my emacs config, I also have `org-id-link-to-org-use-id` set to `'use-existing`. This used to work like a charm, with `M-x org-agenda a` building my agenda including the occasional anniversary notification. After upgrading, I now get prompted to choose a link-storing function every time my agenda tries to display the birthday/anniversary of a contact. I get to choose between `org-contacts-link-store` and `org-id-store-link-maybe`. Choosing `org-contacts-link-store` generates a link to the correct heading in my contacts file - that is the behavior I want and that I am used to. Choosing `org-id-store-link-maybe` instead links to the heading in my gtd file where `%%(org-contacts-anniversaries)` is called - this is new to me and not what I want in this case. As `org-contacts-link-store` is my pre-selected default option I can quickly press return and build the agenda as usual. However, the prompting can get a little annoying, especially when there are multiple anniversaries to be displayed on a given date - and it has to be repeated upon every restart of emacs. Any advice on automatically running `org-contacts-link-store` and skipping this new prompt is highly appreciated. Please find a minimal config + org file setup below.
