Hello!
When org-ctags-find-tag is a member of org-open-link-functions, fuzzy
links and custom-id links are broken. Instead of following those links,
Emacs prompts for a filename with "Visit tags table (default TAGS)".
To reproduce this issue with emacs -Q:
(require 'org-ctags)
Then open an org-mode buffer with the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[[*header]]
* Header
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Put point on the link and run org-open-at-point (C-c C-o).
Instead of jumping to the header, Emacs opens a prompt.
One potential solution is to avoid calling xref-find-definitions inside
org-ctags-find-tag, since xref-find-definitions prompts when there’s no
identifier at point.
I'm sure how org-ctags is getting required in my Emacs, but I think
(require 'org-ctags) probably shouldn't call org-ctags-enable.
Until this issue is fixed, a workaround for now is to set
org-ctags-open-link-functions to nil so that org-ctags-find-tag is never
added to org-open-link-functions. Add the following to init.el:
(setopt org-ctags-open-link-functions nil)
This may break some ctags functionality.
Thanks!

This is expected. As per org-ctags documentation:
;; By default, with org-ctags loaded, org will first try and visit the tag
;; with the same name as the link; then, if unsuccessful, ask the user if
;; he/she wants to rebuild the 'TAGS' database and try again; then ask if
;; the user wishes to append 'tag' as a new toplevel heading at the end of
;; the buffer; and finally, defer to org's default behavior which is to
;; search the entire text of the current buffer for 'tag'.
;;
;; This behavior can be modified by changing the value of
;; ORG-CTAGS-OPEN-LINK-FUNCTIONS.

We generally agree that (require 'org-ctags) should ideally not have
side effects, but do not want to introduce too breaking changes either.

Thank you!! I'm glad to see such care taken in considering this issue!

Does this mean that org-ctag's disruptive behavior will be fixed?
Thanks!!

Oh, thank you! This regularly drives me crazy.
I added the following to my Emacs/Org configuration:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results none
(eval-after-load 'org-ctags
(setq org-ctags-open-link-functions nil))
#+END_SRC

Yes, eval-after-load makes sense.
