I believe that I now addressed all the concerns:
1. Point position is not preserved by default.
2. When a link being open moved point in current buffer, we do allow
   changing the position.
3. When multiple links are open, things should not be broken.
4. When multiple links are open and some of them (more than 1) also move
   point, we move point to the position defined by the last of such
   links.

Fixed, on main.
