D***, I'm getting old! These things used to pop out at me in the old
days. Apologies for the dumb question... :(
Do you think (some part of) this (semi-)paragraph should be mentioned in
the docstring for 'org-open-at-point' (and 'org-open-at-mouse')? I'm of
the opinion that, if you walk-thru the docstring links, you would get
all the info you'd get in the manual (and more), but not necessarily
explained in a user-friendly form,
