Is there a canonical way to jump to the beginning of a link in org-mode,
i.e. the first char?
I usually do something this like:
(goto-char (org-element-property :begin (org-element-context)))
but in things like font-lock it seems slow compared to a regexp. I have
not found a reliable regexp approach though. say I want to search back
for "cite:" with point at the ^ position below:
some text cite:a-key
^
If I run (re-search-backward "cite:") at the point above, it does not go
to the point 2 characters back.
Any ideas?
