Is there an easy way to to get the object at point? I found
org-element-at-point, but what I need is to determine if point is on a link
of a particular type, and links appear to be objects rather than elements.
an alternative solution for me would be how do you move point to the
beginning of a link (if it is on a link)? I found org-next-link and
org-previous-link, but neither of these move you to the beginning of the
current link. Then, I could use org-element-link-parser, but that only
works with point at the beginning of a link.
The reason I was looking into this is here:

It just seems there must be a better way than I implemented. thanks!

I think that `org-element-context' is what you're looking for.

Thanks! That does seem to do what I want.
