It can be used for any type of file or buffer. This would include text, websites (i.e. pointing to and annotating documents on the web), dired, source code, org files, html source, etc. Modifying existing link syntax will be difficult, especially because there might be additional features we need a year or two from now. For maximum flexibility and simplicity, this might be a good first use of extensible syntax. Samuel -- Q: How many CDC "scientists" does it take to change a lightbulb? A: "You only think it's dark."
