Hi, This is what I did: (when (not (or (looking-at " ") ;looking at a space (looking-at "^$") ;looking at a blank line (looking-at "]") ;looking at a bracket at the end ;looking at the end of the line. (looking-at "$"))) (save-restriction (widen) (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (let* ((object (org-element-context)) (type (org-element-property :type object)) (link-content (org-element-property :path object))) (save-excursion (message "%s:%s" type link-content)))))) It seems to do what I want. Thank you very much for your help.
