Hi everybody
I'm looking to create labels/links to specific text positions in org
files (not line number, not header).
I know that [[file:~/path_to_file::target]] can be used to jump to
<<target>>. That would be fine and works for me -- IF I write the link
manually.
However, org-ref which I use for citations seems to overwrite the
default behaviour of org-store-link and org-insert-link. So when the
point is on <<target>> and org-store-link is called (C-c l), I get a
prompt "Store link with (default org-ref-store-ref)". No alternatives
are offered when TAB is hit. Hiting RET saves the link as
"Crefrange:target". A corresponding org-insert-link (C-c C-l) produces
a link of the form [[Crefrange:target]] which, when in another file,
of course leads nowhere ("search failed"). How to get the file name
into these links without manually rewriting the link?
I couldn't find anything on this issue in the org-ref manual or on the
internet.
Thanks for help,
Sven

The quickest thing might be to remove the store properties on the ref
links. This should do it.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(cl-loop for reflink in '("ref" "pageref" "nameref" "eqref" "autoref"
"cref" "Cref" "crefrange" "Crefrange")
do
(setf (cdr (assoc reflink org-link-parameters))
(org-plist-delete (cdr (assoc reflink org-link-parameters)) :store)))
#+END_SRC
I guess I don't have that setup quite right in org-ref, it seems like it
should not clobber other ways to store links.

Hi John
That's working well. Thank you very much. And thousand thanks for
org-ref in general.

You are welcome.
I also discovered just now that you can do C-u C-u C-c C-l to skip storing
functions that are not part of org-core.
If anyone knows how to use store functions that do not clobber the build in
ones, I would be happy to update org-ref so you can use all the link store
options.

This part of Org code has inconsistencies between the docstrings and the
implementation. https://orgmode.org/list/87tu4tppb6.fsf@localhost
I am currently unsure what will be the best way to approach this
problem. Ideally, someone with more experience creating and using custom
links could jump in and propose some solid API we should follow for Org.
