Re: what is the purpose of "This link has already been stored"?

[Anthony Carrico]

I agree that the current behavior is useless, and I agree that a good 
default would be to bring the link to the front of the list.

Storing the link is also currently somewhat buggy. I almost always link 
to the top of the page (the title), and org creates a table entry which 
looks like this:

<no description> <file:~/org/notes/2023-06-28T090115.org::+TITLE: Ref: 
Abstract Syntax Graphs for Domain Specific Languages>

Creating a link like this:

[[file:2023-06-24T161646.org::+TITLE: Ref: Functional Programming with 
Structured Graphs]]

Unfortunately the link doesn't automatically get a sensible default 
description. This would be a better table entry:

Ref: Abstract Syntax Graphs for Domain Specific Languages 
<file:~/org/notes/2023-06-28T090115.org>

Creating a link like this:

[[file:2023-06-24T161646.org][Ref: Functional Programming with 
Structured Graphs]]

I always do this transformation manually when creating links to my pages.

I'm in the habit of stripping the title from the link, because such 
links didn't used to work, maybe due to the pound sign, but apparently 
they are currently working, as I just discovered.
