Hi,
I've been hacking this weekend to try to create a minor mode that
enables org-mode bracket links in modes other than org-mode.
I believe this has been mooted before
(e.g. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-08/msg00573.html).
The following codes works for me but I'm sure it could be improved.
I'm an elisp noob so I'd very much appreciate feedback on the approach
I'm taking. For example, I'm not sure how to prevent turning on
org-link-minor-mode from an org-mode buffer - advice would be welcome.
Regards,
Sean

Yes. This might especially be useful in modes where people use
orgstruct as well -- and could well end up being part of orgstruct,
if that's not too invasive.

Simply use
(unless (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
on the top of your function?
Also, you might want to check `org-fontify-like-in-org-mode': for any
regexp (including links) that you find in your buffer, you can fontify
it like in org-mode.
HTH,

I see it as orthogonal to orgstruct - they could happily co-exist side by side.
I've just tested that though and it seems they don't. I'll try to fix that.

Thanks - I used your suggestion as you can see here:
https://github.com/seanohalpin/org-link-minor-mode/blob/master/org-link-minor-mode.el
I realised the problem I had was that I can't prevent entering the minor mode
because by the time I check for org-mode, the minor mode has already been
entered so I have to turn it off again.
BTW, I've refactored the code to simplify it and added more link types.
Regards,
Sean

Hi Sean,
I just added links to your code in worg/org-hacks.org and
worg/org-contrib/index.org -- thanks!

Okay, let us know how it goes!

Certainly (though it might take a little longer...)

This is pretty cool, Sean. One issue I'm having is that it does not
properly handle "breaking" the link:
"[[link][description]]" is displayed as "link", with the cursor after
link. In org-mode, if I hit backspace, it deletes the trailing ']' and
changes the display to "[[link][description]". But using this minor
mode, it keeps still just shows "link". If I turn minor mode off again,
it's clear that the trailing bracket was deleted.
I took a look at the org source regarding links, but I couldn't quite
figure out how org does this. It just calls org-delete-backward-char,
which doesn't appear to have any magic for links.
Thanks
