Recently I have had an issue where multiple functions may store a link,
e.g. to a bibtex entry.
In this case, org-mode seems to prompt me to ask which function to store
the link with, with an initial input of the first function, which masks all
the options that are available. This happens inside org-store-link in ol.el
at line 1495 for me. in
(apply #'org-link-store-props
(cdr (assoc-string
(completing-read
"Which function for creating the link? "
(mapcar #'car results-alist)
nil t (symbol-name name))
results-alist)))
because of the (symbol-name name).
Is there an easy way to avoid this, or to modify the order of the functions
used? I want to see all the options for storing, or better, to just store
them all and let me choose later when I use org-insert-link.
John

I have the exact same problem. I think it comes from having org-bibtex
and org-ref loaded at the same time. I haven't investigated a possible
solution.
Cheers,
Dan

Here is a very grungy solution:
(defun scimax-store-link-advice (orig-fun &rest args)
(cl-letf (((symbol-function 'symbol-name)
(lambda (_)
"")))
(apply orig-fun args)))
(advice-add 'org-store-link :around 'scimax-store-link-advice)
It works by temporarily redefining symbol-name to return an empty string.
It's only redeeming qualities are 1) it works, 2) you don't have to modify
the org src code!

The "or better" sounds reasonable. Perhaps someone will attempt that,
but in the meantime I think just avoiding the discouraged/mostly
deprecated INITIAL-INPUT argument would be a good improvement.

Subject: [PATCH] ol: Avoid initial input when completing function for storing
link
* lisp/ol.el (org-store-link): Use completing-read's DEF argument
rather than INITIAL-INPUT, which is discouraged (see Elisp manual) and
may hide the other choices depending on the completion framework.
