[BUG] org-open-at-point-global fails on links with multiline descriptions in org-mode buffers [9.6.6 (release_9.6.6 @ /usr/share/emacs/29.1/lisp/org/)]

["Omar Antolín Camarena" <omar@matem.unam.mx>]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have an org link with a newline embedded in the description in an org-mode buffer and put point on it, org-open-at-point correctly follows the link but org-open-at-point-global does not, it instead reports "No link found". (I have plenty of org links with newlines in the description, because org-fill-paragraph tends to reformat links that way.)

I understand that it is reasonable for org-open-at-point-global's regexp-based approach to only look for single-line links and am not suggesting this be changed for non-org-mode buffers, but I would like to suggest that org-open-at-point-global check to see if it is being run in an Org mode buffer and if so just call org-open-at-point. That way users can bind org-open-at-point-global and use that key binding everywhere including org-mode buffers without loss of functionality compared to org-open-at-point.
