* org.el (org-open-file): Allow regular expressions in
org-file-apps to capture link parameters using groups. In a
command string to be executed, the parameters can be referenced
using %1, %2, etc. Lisp forms can access them using
(match-string n link).
(org-apps-regexp-alist): Adopt the created regexp, as this is now
matched against a file: link instead of the file name.

* org-crypt.el (org-reveal-start-hook): Add a decryption function
