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.
