I'd do something like this: (org-add-link-type "file+emacs+dired" 'org-open-file-with-emacs-dired) (defun org-open-file-with-emacs-dired (path) "Open in dired." (let ((d (file-name-directory path)) (f (file-name-nondirectory path))) (dired d) (goto-char (point-min)) (search-forward f nil t))) which will work for a new link type file+emacs+dired. But you can also setup `org-link-frame-setup' so that the function associated to the file entry does the right thing for you. HTH, -- Bastien
