4.5 Handling Links
...
‘C-c C-o’ (‘org-open-at-point’)
...
     ... Furthermore, it visits text and
     remote files in ‘file’ links with Emacs and select a suitable
     application for local non-text files.  Classification of files is
     based on file extension only.  See option ‘org-file-apps’.  If you
     want to override the default application and visit the file with
     Emacs, use a ‘C-u’ prefix.  If you want to avoid opening in Emacs,
     use a ‘C-u C-u’ prefix.
