Org files are full of links inserted with `org-store-link'. This links point to e-mail, webpages, files, dirs, info pages, man pages, etc. Actually, they come from potentially *everywhere* since Org lets you define your own storing/following functions. So, what if you are on a e-mail, webpage or whatever and want to know if this buffer has already been linked to somewhere in your agenda files? Then org-registry-show will tell you where this location has been linked. Hope this is clearer like this, I have updated the commentary in the source code. > Maybe give an example of how would this be useful. I've no time for this right now but I will in the future. One particular case where that would be useful is when you want to check whether a link lives in *several* agenda files and want to see all of them. Regards, -- Bastien
