Hello all,

Assuming I have not missed something, is there a variable I can set on
visiting an org buffer/file that ensures that links are displayed fully?

Once I've loaded an org file, I can

   M-x org-toggle-link-display RET.

but I would like certain files to start up with links displayed.

If not already possible, it would be nice to either set a file local
variable or have, say:

#+startup: displaylinks

as options.

thank you,
eric

Is it possible to use setter function for the defcustom to make the 
following work?

# Local Variables:
# org-link-descriptive: nil
# End:

Taking into account recent attempt of early setting of local variables 
some complications may ruin such idea. The setter is hardly an 
appropriate place for (org-restart-font-lock), but perhaps it may be 
skipped during loading.

I'm not sure what this means.

Ah, thank you for pointing out the variable.  I didn't manage to find
it.

In any case, I tried this with both nil and t and neither value works
(for me).  Links are only shown by displaying the descriptive text.
Maybe there is another setting that overrides?

Thanks again,
eric

I had in mind :set attribute of defcustom, see info "(elisp) Variable 
Definitions"
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Variable-Definitions.html#index-set_002c-defcustom-keyword

but I have realized that I am unsure it the function is called for local 
variables. The original idea was to execute something like code of 
`org-toggle-link-display'.

If I got it right, Ihor tried to fix it, but he had to revert the change 
intended to apply local variables earlier

In the particular case of `org-link-descriptive' some code should be 
executed *after* changing of its value.

I see.  Thank you.

Oh, okay, that makes sense.  And, yes, the issue of local variables
etc. is complex as we found out last week!  I can survive with manual
invocation of the toggling command.  It's usually only one document
where I want to do this.

Thanks again,
eric

I went with

#+startup: showlinks
and
#+startup: compresslinks

Why not continue with established terminology?

I do not have a strong opinion here.
I used "show" following showstars/showeverything/etc and because it is
shorter. "hide" did not fit though, which is why I went with "compress".
