info links broken

info links broken

[João O'Neill Cortes]

Using release 9.2.3(Tag 342) on emacs 26.1, fedora.

Links of info type, for instance,
[[info:org#The%20clock%20table][info:org#The clock table]]
, seem to be broken. 

The property :path retrieved by org-element-property
in line 10292 is empty, and therefore the link fails to open,

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
       ((eq type 'link)
	(let ((type (org-element-property :type context))
	      (path (org-element-property :path context)))
#+end_src

There has been a change in the encoding of the links lately.

See ORG-NEWS/Version 9.3/Incompatible changes/Change bracket link
escaping syntax.  There is also function org-update-link-syntax to
update old-style links.

Concretely your example could be written as

[[info:org#The clock table][info:org#The clock table]]

or even

[[info:org#The clock table]]
