Re: Simple but repetitive http links
Hi, Org scans the file for link definitions when you visit it, so when you type in the link definition in the buffer, Org is not automatically aware that it exists. To refresh setup without reloading the file, you can `C-c C-c' with point on the line with the definition. That should do it. Also, if you don't particularly need or like the behavior of querying for creating a new headline when none is found, you can turn it off by customizing org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline to nil (the default is 'query-to-create).

And I also wanted to suggest adding something about that in the manual. Perhaps this is a common fact with many of Org modes features that I missed somewhere? To tell Org about new keywords like that you need to hit C-c C-c on the keyword (or restart). This is in "The Very Busy C-c C-c Key" in the manual,¹ and "Summary of In-Buffer Settings," but the manual is dense and it's easily overlooked. However, as a general rule, if you ever want something to happen in Org, try hitting C-c C-c on the line and it probably will. Welcome to Org!

Simple but repetitive http links
I'm new to Org mode. I found this page https://orgmode.org/manual/Link-Abbreviations.html about Link Abbreviations but I wanted to report my confusion. I added: #+LINK: rails https://rubyonrails.org to my org file and then I wrote [[rails][Rails]] and when I clicked the text, it asked me if I wanted to create a section. I had to kill the buffer and reload it to get it to work. That's fine but I'm wondering if there is a way to make it active without killing the buffer. And I also wanted to suggest adding something about that in the manual. Perhaps this is a common fact with many of Org modes features that I missed somewhere?
