org-attach link proposal

Hi,

I played a bit with org-attach. It is great package! Thanks for it! :)

I have one proposal. So at first why:

I would like to do something like this:

* Project documents
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Attachments: first.doc second.doc third.doc
  :ID:       37773ace-b471-4003-a8d1-448e7c48f77b
  :END:

  + the first document about something1 [[att:first.doc]]
  + the second document  [[att:second.doc]]
  + the third document [[att:third.doc]]

in order to easily access it just by click on related link.

So I defined method:

(defun org-attach-open-link (file &optional in-emacs)
  (org-open-file (expand-file-name file (org-attach-dir t)) in-emacs))

and link:

#+LINK: att elisp:(org-attach-open-link "%s")

and it works. but always asks if I want to execute elisp code.

Would it be possible to integrate it directly to org-mode like http: and
others? I am not sure how to do it.

Thank you!
Juraj

I believe this should be possible using a bit of Elisp:

,----
| (org-add-link-type "att" 'org-attach-open-link)
|
| (defun org-attach-open-link (file &optional in-emacs)
|   (org-open-file (expand-file-name file (org-attach-dir t)) in-emacs))
`----

Put that in your init file, or wherever you place your customizations.
 You can read more about adding new hyperlink types in the manual.[1]
By the way, the function is only passed a single argument (the text of
the link); ‘in-emacs’ will always be ‘nil’, unless you’re also calling
it programmatically elsewhere.

I have the same use-case scenario as you and I asked the same question a
while ago [1]. As you, I define a link type for attached files with

#+LINK: attach elisp:(org-open-file (org-attach-expand "%s"))


To avoid the confirmation to execute elisp code you can use the
org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp variable that Bastien introduced after
[1]. In my case it is

(setq org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp "org-open-file")

Off-course you can also disable confirmation to execute any elisp code, but
I think it is more reasonable to disable only the one you need.


Bastien also introduced the org-attach-store-link-p variable. Set it to
'attached and org will store a link to the attached file that you can
easily insert with "C-c C-l".

Hi Darlan and Aankhen,

thank you for your help! In the end a use this setup:

  (org-add-link-type "att" 'org-attach-open-link)
  (defun org-attach-open-link (file)
    (org-open-file (org-attach-expand file)))
  (set-variable 'org-attach-store-link-p t)

I have learned a lot. This is a great project!
Best regards,
Juraj
