i am confused. org-stored-links is a command? what are the known user needs for storing and pasting links?
i am also unclear on why we have a dedicated paste function as opposed to kill ring. probably a good reason. but wfm. i merely wanted to store then yank a link. which in bugfix errors if dup. i also envisioned other less defined use cases. stprog link several times could include having colelected a bunch of links, perhaps in sequene but in the meantime wanting to copy and paste a single link that is by coincidence in that list? i could imagine such a thing.
