Another one of those "I wish I could do X" moments where I look through org-mode docs and find exactly what I'm looking for.
So, I work for a company where I use an Issue tracking tool, and every issue has a URL like this: http://example.com/issues?PRODUCT-XXX Where XXX is the issue number. I want to have links to these issues in my company.org file, but I don't want/need to type long links like this [[http://example.com/issues?PRODUCT-123][Issue 123]] I found link abbreviations: http://orgmode.org/manual/Link-abbreviations.html#Link-abbreviations So, I could create a variable org-link-abbrev-list, and put it in my org-mode configuration file. However, my org-mode config is public on GitHub, and I didn't want the company's Issue tracker URL to be public. Then, I found that you can define abbreviations *directly* in my customer.org at the top like this: #+LINK:issues http://example.com/issues/PRODUCT- Then link to the issues like this: * [[issues:123][Issue 123]] blah blkah * [[issues:456][issue 456]] blah blah blah Awesome! --Nate -- Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
