Observation: - use `org-toggle-link-display' in org buffer A, and (coming from the defaults) links are now shown in full (not just the description), but only in buffer A - switch to org buffer B, still only showing the description part, and again use `o-t-l-d' --- nothing changes - the state for new org buffers is as before, onle link descriptions are shown. This behavior is very confusing, IMO. The reason is simple. The display hiding comes from changing the `buffer-invisibility-spec', which is automatically buffer-local. But the state of the org toggle is kept in `org-link-descriptive', which is global! I suggest a simple fix that I just tested: make `org-link-descriptive' automatically buffer-local, by adding ":local t" to the defcustom. NB: This also fixes a related bug that eval: (org-toggle-link-display) in the file-local works properly --- it did not work for me before. Thanks.
