Hi Jean Louis,

do you have examples of the syntax of these links and of what we need
to make them work? I am especially interested in "MPV play video at
exact time", "Launch Program", "Media", "PDF by Page Nr." and "Set"...

I am asking because one of the topics of my talk at the next EmacsConf
(in a few weeks!) is how eev implements links to all these things,
and I want to compare eev's approach with other packages. See:

  http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-pdf-like-intro.html
  http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-audiovideo-intro.html

I know org-player and org-pdftools, but I found them hard to set up.

Thanks in advance, I hope =),
