The three issues (plain links, enter link via C-c C-l, and
double-unescape) are not related in a strict sense. I just pushed:
- a fix for `org-open-at-point' and plain links; problem was, that in
contrast to bracket links the plain link was not unescaped when
read from buffer
- removed the second `org-link-unescape' in `org-html-handle-links';
PATH is already unescaped, does not change between first and third
`setq' and should always be escaped only once. Attached patch is
for org-lparse.el.
The inconsistency C-c C-l vs. copy'n'paste vs. manually entering a
link is under further review. The base problem is, that we
(a) need to escape certain characters for Org mode (i.e. square brackets)
(b) need to treat links in a Org buffer either as escaped -or- as
unescaped; you can't always tell the difference from the string alone
(e.g. "%25" could be the escaped percent sign or the unescaped
sequence "%25")
(c) don't know if the user enters or pastes a escaped or unescaped
link; if the user manually enters a link with the sequence "%5B" and
we later read that link, we can't tell if it is a bracket escaped by
us or a percent escaped bracket in the original link
