Hi,
I just started to use appointment entries like
* Angela Merkel :breakfast:
:PROPERTIES:
:APPT_DATE: <2015-01-21 Wed 09:00>
:APPT_LOCA: Berlin
:END:
I would have expected to be able to follow the link to the date with M-x
org-open-at-point (as always.) But this is not the case.
Message: org-open-at-point: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil
Is this behavior intentional? Am I missing something?
Best regards, Marco

Fixed.

Actually, this is an ambiguous situation. As a convenient feature,
`org-open-link' is sloppy and can follow links and timestamps in
comments and properties drawers.
However, syntax doesn't allow timestamps in properties drawers, so
behaviour is undefined if you expect to use it for anything else (e.g.,
adding the entry in the agenda).

Ahh, good to know. Actually I counted on those entries appearing in the
agenda. So it's time to change my appointment notations.
Ciao, Marco
