I'm not sure what is the real world use-case for allowing storing the same link several times. Maybe one was provided, but I missed it. I believe the new default behavior makes a lot of sense, thanks for implementing this. I'm skeptical about the need for a new dedicated option, though. The current single universal prefix argument seems not that useful ("A single `C-u' negates `org-context-in-file-links' for file links or `org-gnus-prefer-web-links' for links to Usenet articles.") and we could use it to force storing duplicates, which is more useful. Here is the suggested new behavior, also modifying other universal prefix args: - M-x org-stored-links : don't store dups, move upfront if dup - C-u M-x org-stored-links : force storing the link, even if dup - [2 universal prefix arg] : negates ‘org-context-in-file-links’, etc - [3 universal prefix arg] : forces skipping storing functions that are not part of Org core. The current behavior for 3 prefix args should be the default when the region is active. WDYT? -- Bastien
