double-clicking would
file+emacs:/path/to/file will force opening by Emacs
Also, when using C-c C-o on a headline of get a list of links in the
entry, pressing RET will open *all* links. This allows something like
projects to be defined, with a number of files that have to be opened
by different applications.
These were requests by John Wiegley.

This does now work, but only if the user has no template defined for
the access letter `C'.

It is not customizable, like for the agenda....

Skip clocking out when we are clocking in the same task that
is currently clocking but go through the normal clock-in
setup so a modified task name or effort property is
updated in the modeline.
Avoid closing the currently clocking entry when clocking in the same task
again. Leave the clock entry open until some other task is clocked in.
This allows us to clock in tasks with hooks that are called frequently without
generating lots of short sequential clock entries for the same task.

The regular expression was not optimal, and if there was a horizontal
rule, search would not start from the beginning of the buffer but from
after the rule!

When an agenda custom command has an empty string as MATCH element, so
far this would lead to a meaningless search using an empty matcher.
Now and empty (or white) string will be interpreted just like a nil
matcher, i.e. the user will be prompted for the match.

Add a variable org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags, which makes org
complete all tags from all agenda files if non-nil. Usually, setting it
locally to t in org-remember buffers is most convenient.
Avoid closing the currently clocking entry when clocking in the same task
again. Leave the clock entry open until some other task is clocked in.
This allows us to clock in tasks with hooks that are called frequently without
generating lots of short sequential clock entries for the same task.
