Hi all,
so I have this:
[[file:whatever.org][Some link]]
How do I extract bith parts of this link programmatically?
My use case is that I have an Org tree of links, and I want to export
them to certain XML format.
TIA,

Probably there is some more elegant way but if you run this on a link,
you get the two pieces I think. In a filter or exporter, you might
replace (org-element-context) with the link element/object
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun parse-link ()
(interactive)
(message-box "%s"
(cons
;; path
(org-element-property :path (org-element-context))
;; description
(buffer-substring
(org-element-property :contents-begin (org-element-context))
(org-element-property :contents-end (org-element-context))))))
#+END_SRC

Have you considered a custom exporter? Just a little thought.

That's exactly what I'm writing. It just hadn't occured to me to use
the parsed version in the element tree – I just concentrated on
exporting the headlines (which contain the links). Stupid me. Thanks
for this (obvious) tip!
