Hi Russell, I am using Doom Emacs, and in its default Org configuration it does exactly that: the link target is shown in the minibuffer after a brief delay, when the cursor is on the link. A bit of investigation reveals that it's using org-eldoc. This seems to be the code responsible for it:
https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/develop/modules/lang/org/config.el#L167-L171 (defadvice! +org-display-link-in-eldoc-a (&rest _) "Display full link in minibuffer when cursor/mouse is over it." :before-until #'org-eldoc-documentation-function (when-let (link (org-element-property :raw-link (org-element-context))) (format "Link: %s" link))) --Diego On Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 5:15 PM Russell Adams <rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com> wrote: > Are there other ways to view information about an org link that I > don't list below? > > - M-x org-insert-link, the prompts for link and description show the > current values.
