Hi Russell,
I am using Doom Emacs, and in its default Org configuration it does exactly that: the link target is shown in the minibuffer after a brief delay, when the cursor is on the link. A bit of investigation reveals that it's using org-eldoc. This seems to be the code responsible for it:
(defadvice! +org-display-link-in-eldoc-a (&rest _)
"Display full link in minibuffer when cursor/mouse is over it."
:before-until #'org-eldoc-documentation-function
(when-let (link (org-element-property :raw-link (org-element-context)))
(format "Link: %s" link)))
--Diego
Are there other ways to view information about an org link that I
don't list below?
- M-x org-insert-link, the prompts for link and description show the
current values. Requires interacting with the prompts.
- Switch to fundamental mode
- M-x org-toggle-link-display
Are there ways to see this information live while navigating? Maybe on
the modeline, or messages?
