Hi Daniel,



you will have to call

 emascclient ort-protocol://docview:/home/jan/some-file.pdf::7/TitleOfPDF/Selection

and define a custom handler to make this work. As docview is in the
core, you could add that handler directly in lisp/org-protocol.el if
everyone is OK with that.


I'm not online very often at the moment. I probably won't read your
answers before I tried that myself (just updated Org-mode here). I'll be
back on thursday :-/
