Using Thorsten's suggestion --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("foo" . "file:/path/to/%(foobar).txt"))) (defun foobar (x) (replace-regexp-in-string "[[:space:]]" "_" x)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- will turn [[foo:foo bar loo]] to [[file:/path/to/foo_bar__loo.txt]] when you click on it. -- Nick
