Thanks for sending the patch, but it won't provide a clean solution to
the problem: The function modified by your patch works under the
assumption, that for example the sequence %3A represents a percent
escaped colon.  But the function that creates the link in the first
place does not percent-escape chars -- If we use just this patch,
opening a link to a file literarally called "%3A.org" will fail.

So we need to modify all functions that create links to propertly
percent-escape the part of a link that follows the link type in order
to make all functions unescape the link.

Good news: Reworking the percent-escaping is a work in progress on my
list[1] and if it is finished and accepted, the problem should be
solved.

Best,
