Subject: Cool feature: Link abbreviations

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=zF4c9Jc3UGSH4aDK=iCMG2y5qbhc-z4SQnKHo@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Another one of those "I wish I could do X" moments where I
look through org-mode docs and find exactly what I'm looking for.
So, I work for a company where I use an Issue tracking tool, and every issue
has a URL like this:
http://example.com/issues?PRODUCT-XXX
Where XXX is the issue number.
I want to have links to these issues in my company.org file, but I don't
want/need to type long links like this
[[http://example.com/issues?PRODUCT-123][Issue 123]]
I found link abbreviations:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Link-abbreviations.html#Link-abbreviations
So, I could create a variable org-link-abbrev-list, and put it in my
org-mode configuration file. However, my org-mode config is public on
GitHub, and
I didn't want the company's Issue tracker URL to be public.
Then, I found that you can define abbreviations *directly* in my
customer.org at the top like this:
#+LINK:issues http://example.com/issues/PRODUCT-
Then link to the issues like this:
* [[issues:123][Issue 123]]
blah blkah
* [[issues:456][issue 456]]
blah blah blah
Awesome!
