Re: question about org-element-map missing link in caption

[John Kitchin <johnrkitchin@gmail.com>]

hmm... Is there any way to tell when a link in in an affiliate? so we
can tell when we cannot trust buffer positions?

Maybe even better fix the implementation to add the found buffer
positions to some affiliate position so they are correct? I could give
that a try if you can point me to the function it occurs in.

Thanks.
