hi, i use ebib to manage my bibtex references. it would be really cool if orgmode could follow links to bibtex entries using ebib. what i would like is to be able to follow a link such as [[bib:bibentry]] and end up in ebib, with my standard bibtex database opened, and entry positioned at the bibentry. can this be achieved without adding functionality to orgmode?
Very likely, this is very simple to implement - but I don't know ebib and what API it offers to find and display entries. If someone is interested to hack this, look at org-bibtex.e and at the manual:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Adding-hyperlink-types.html#Adding-hyperlink-types The basic code for this will be very simple indeed, like (org-add-link-type "ebib" 'org-ebib-open) (defun org-bib-open (path) ;; PATH will be the bibentry key here (some-ebib-function-to-find-and-display path)) HTH - Carsten _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
