As a first step, `C-c C-o' now opens links from the entire text of an
entry, not just of the headline visible in the agenda.  So this works
even without using E to show entry text in the agenda, but of course
it will also when when the extra text is visible.


Would it be hard to make C-c C-o on a headline in a regular org-file
also show this link menu?  I find that very convenient but have to
switch to the agenda first to get at my links quickly :)

I think having it behave the same would also feel more consistent - it
doesn't matter if you're in the agenda or on a headline in an org-file
-- C-c C-o on a headline presents the link menu regardless.


That does sound reasonable, please check if it works now like that.

It works but not exactly the same.  C-c C-o on a headline in an org file
also picks up links in my LOGBOOK drawer (which isn't bad) but the
agenda doesn't do that.

They should probably be consistent.

I am not yet convinced, but I have made a little toy implementation
for you and others to try out and commet on.

Please get the latest version and press `E' in the agenda to
toggle the display of a small amount (see variable
`org-agenda-entry-text-maxlines') of text from the entry in
the agenda.


Thanks!  I like it very much so far.  Refreshing the agenda removes  
the
snippets/excerpts though.  Will use it for a few days and report  
back.


Me too!  I just tried it for the first time this morning and I think
this is going to be very useful.

I am using an overlay after-string property to display the text.
I don't want to move a way from the one-real-line-is-one-entry
paradigm, so this is as far as I'd like to go, and I do not
wnat to really insert this text.

We could make C-c C-o follow links also in the extra text,
and offer a link selection if there are several links, maybe.
