This is not > really straightforward. If the point is before the "a", that means the point is right after the link, it should open `link1' instead of `link2', IMNSHO. This isn't even the previous behavior, I admit, but if you move the pointer to the end of the line (that's right after the link2), it _opened_ links2. This behavior works quite well with Emacs' cursor movement. ;; uga, `forward-word' doesn't work as I expected on ;; [[http://google.com][google]]. It stops at the first `o'. > Worse, if `visual-line-mode' is on, > [[link2]] can be many lines below.

Both should report "No link found". `org-end-of-line' takes care of `visual-line-mode', why not `org-open-at-link'? -- yashi
