Hello,

I'm experimenting with a setup where each project is its own org file,
and where I have a master file linking to active projects. How can I
configure org to add every linked file of that master file to the
org-agenda-files?

Thanks,

Alan

  You'll probably have to write a custom function to do that, but it
  depends on how exactly your master file is set-up, so providing some
  details on that would help.
  
  Just guessing at this point, I would imagine you'd want something like
  this:
  
  --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (defun path-from-link (link)
     (org-element-property :path link))
  
  (setq org-agenda-files (with-current-buffer
                           (find-file-noselect "master.org")
                           (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer)
                                            '(link)
                                            #'path-from-link)))
  --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
  
  but the details might make a difference.

    Thanks a lot, this is most useful! I did not think it could be this
    simple.
    
    Best,
