Is there any way to quickly add a file's location rather than typing the
whole file://path/to/location. The files are mostly freemind or libreoffice
calc/ word files.
If the file or the directory is not there, it can also be created from
within org easily.
Thanks

Are these links to files? You can use `org-insert-link' with a prefix
argument, to get the usual find-file interface, and a link inserted once
you've found it.

Looks like org-insert-link doesn't have any tab completion feature to list
files on the system. How do I get that?
I can tab complete file+sys: but then can't do ~/directory/file.txt
Thanks.

Perhaps try playing with the value of org-link-file-path-type?

You must have missed the "prefix argument" part of Eric's answer: C-u C-c C-l

C-u C-c C-l solves all problems. Now I can link any file (PDF etc.) from
anywhere within org and with tab completion. Thanks.
