Smart processing of http(s) links

Smart processing of http(s) links

[Ag Ibragimov]

I want to make something like this:

Whenever I I use org-insert-link and it turns out to be a URI that starts with "https://github.com" I would like it to be processed differently than any other link, one example - if it is a PR or a Github Issue, I'd like it to fetch summary(title) of it and create a link that looks like this:

[[https://github.com/user/repo/issues/3899][This issue needs to be fixed #3899]]

Do we have any "built-in" mechanism for doing something like this? Can someone suggest how I can make it. Thank you!

You can set org-link-make-description-function to a function that
detects links of interest and generates a custom description.

Oh cool. This is exactly what I needed:

I was able to build this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun get-gh-item-title (uri &optional include-number?)
  "Based on given github URI for (pull request or an issue),
  returns its title"
  (when (string-match "\\(github.com\\).*\\(issues\\|pull\\)" uri) ; either PR or issue
    (pcase-let* ((`(_ _ ,owner ,repo ,type ,number) (remove "" (split-string uri "/")))
                 (gh-resource (format "/repos/%s/%s/%s/%s"
                                      owner
                                      repo
                                      (if (string= type "pull") "pulls" type)
                                      number))
                 (resp (ghub-get gh-resource nil :auth 'forge)))
      (when resp
        (format "%s%s" (alist-get 'title resp)
                (when include-number? (format " #%s" number)))))))

(defun org-link-make-description-function* (link desc)
  (cond ((string-match "\\(github.com\\).*\\(issues\\|pull\\)" link)
         (get-gh-item-title link :with-number))
        (t desc)))

(setq org-link-make-description-function 'org-link-make-description-function*)
#+end_src

I suspect you could do something with browse-url. The issue I see here
is why you would want the contents fetched whenever you insert a link or
where this summary(title). I guess I don't really understand what
exactly is your use case here - everything I can think of seems more
complicated and requiring more maintenance than just typing the
appropriate description when you insert the link.

Actually, it is not. See my reply to Kyle. You still can modify the link description, it just gives you an option to make it as the title of the GitHub issue or PR.

I'm not sure if this is of interest to you, but I like org-cliplink to insert links with their
titles. Maybe you can look at their source to build your own if it doesn't work for you?
