Subject: Bug: org-agenda-open-link disallow permanenly changing point position while opening some links (e.g. elisp:) [9.3 (release_9.3 @ /home/yantar92/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recipe:
1. emacs -Q
2. Open the following org file
* TODO 1
elisp:end-of-buffer
** TODO 2
blah
3. M-x org-agenda < t
4. Move point to "TODO 1" in agenda
5. C-c C-o yes
Expected behaviour:
The point in the org file moves to the end of the file
Observed behaviour:
The point does not move
The cause of the observed behaviour is the following code in
org-agenda-open-link:
(with-current-buffer buffer
(setq trg (and (string-match org-link-bracket-re l)
(match-string 1 l)))
(if (or (not trg) (string-match org-link-any-re trg))
(org-with-wide-buffer
(goto-char marker)
(when (search-forward l nil lkend)
(goto-char (match-beginning 0))
(org-open-at-point)))
;; This is an internal link, widen the buffer
(switch-to-buffer-other-window buffer)
(widen)
(goto-char marker)
(when (search-forward l nil lkend)
(goto-char (match-beginning 0))
(org-open-at-point))))
The code opens the link in two ways depending whether the link is
"internal link" or not. If it is not "internal", following the link is
enclosed into save-excursion (from org-with-wide-buffer). Thus, the
moving point does not have any effect when following some links
In my real life scenario, I have a custom link, which executes some
elisp to add a new row in a table from the current item and move the
point to that table. However, there is no way to keep the point position
with the current org-agenda-open-link implementation, unless the
condition for "internal link" is broadened.
