Message-ID: <87zg14wmw3.fsf@nixos.mail-host-address-is-not-set> (raw)

I found the issue.

Apologies to anyone confused by this, it's not an issue with `org`, but rather with `org-roam`.

I assumed it wouldn't run any code when simply being loaded, but it turns out that `org-roam` was adding itself as a link follow parameter for ID links when loaded by Emacs.

Removing it solves my issue:

(org-link-set-parameters "id" :follow #'org-roam-id-open)

Thanks!
