There is also a more permanent solution: ,---- | org-context-in-file-links is a variable defined in `org.el'. | Its value is t | | Documentation: | Non-nil means file links from `org-store-link' contain context. | A search string will be added to the file name with :: as separator and | used to find the context when the link is activated by the command | `org-open-at-point'. When this option is t, the entire active region | will be placed in the search string of the file link. If set to a | positive integer, only the first n lines of context will be stored. | | Using a prefix arg to the command C-c l (`org-store-link') | negates this setting for the duration of the command. | | You can customize this variable. | `---- Nick
