Re: Attachments and refiling

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira <darcamo@gmail.com>]

I requested this some time ago [1]. While there is not a built-in attach
link type, org provides you with ways to easily create this functionality.

In the setup part in my org-files I put
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LINK: attach elisp:(org-open-file (org-attach-expand "%s"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now I can use the "attach" link type, but org will ask me if I want to
allow executing the elisp code. To avoid this you can even set
org-confirm-elisp-link-function to nil (I don't like this because it allows
any elisp code in links) or you can set org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp
appropriately.

In my case I use
: (setq org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp "org-open-file")


This works very well.
