As in, if you follow (open?) a file link, how is the file handled
(particularly, for me, JPG, PNG, MP4, etc.)? What's the process by
which an image gets inlined? Do I have to install some image processor
to do that? If so, which? Or can I adjust a variable to use my chosen
image processor?

Ahh, maybe I am in the wrong section. I think, what I want is
org-open-at-point (which could be mentioned in 4.4), but it's
documentation string just says the linked file will be opened by "an
appropriate application". I assume that that means some Elisp function
is called that cross-references the file type with appropriate
application. And that I could add to or adjust the cross-reference list
for new/modified file types. It would be nice to mention that list
variable so that I could trace the process further and determine what to
do (like install the appropriate application).
Does this help for what I'm looking for?
