I'm unsure if org-mode's behavior is correct here.
1. Create a link to a directory in an org file, e.g. [[~/Documents/][My docs]].
2. Put the point on the link and hit C-u C-u C-c C-o.
The org manual says "If you want to avoid opening in Emacs, use a C-u
C-u prefix." I am doing that, but I get a dired buffer anyway.
?

Org *tries* to open this directory, as the docstring says.
But here the system does not know how to open directories.
Check the docstring of `org-file-apps' on how to set it so
that directories can be opened specially.
HTH,
