Yeah. But it is quite far down in my todo-list now (because not easy).

Yes, eval-after-load makes sense.

Oh, thank you!  This regularly drives me crazy.

I added the following to my Emacs/Org configuration:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results none
(eval-after-load 'org-ctags
  (setq org-ctags-open-link-functions nil))
#+END_SRC

Thank you!! I'm glad to see such care taken in considering this issue!

Does this mean that org-ctag's disruptive behavior will be fixed?

Thanks!!

This is expected. As per org-ctags documentation:

;; By default, with org-ctags loaded, org will first try and visit the tag
;; with the same name as the link; then, if unsuccessful, ask the user if
;; he/she wants to rebuild the 'TAGS' database and try again; then ask if

We generally agree that (require 'org-ctags) should ideally not have
side effects, but do not want to introduce too breaking changes either.
