I mean that the link inserted by Org is not exactly the same as the url
you get from emacs-w3m, as you can see in the examples given above.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
(call-interactively 'org-version)
#+end_src

#+results:
: Org-mode version 8.2.5h (release_8.2.5h-883-ga36dde @ 
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/lisp/)

#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
(emacs-version)
#+end_src

#+results:
: GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7)
:  of 2014-01-28 on var-lib-archbuild-extra-x86_64-juergen

so we have the same version.

I use (emacs-)w3m.

Maybe somebody else can try the link above produced by Org-mode?
