Hello,

I am using org-id to create links between org-mode files. I am trying to
place such links as properties in property drawers in this way:

:PROPERTIES:
:AUTHOR:  [[id:1e705ded-0364-412d-bb01-02a99fc78694][John Doe]]
:END:

The problem is that when I try to follow such links using
org-open-at-point, I get an error message like this:

org-id-open: Cannot find entry with ID "1e705ded-0364-412d-bb01-02a99fc78694"

which is puzzling since both the file and the org-id exist. I even
attempted reloading with org-id-update-id-locations, but the problem
persists.

Thank you very much for your help.

I suspect that you did not create that link using built-in org
functions. org-id uses heuristics to determine which files contain id
targets. By default, Org only searches org-agenda-files and current
buffer. When org-id-track-globally is set, Org tries to be smarter and add
any file to where you programatically store an id: link. If you never do
it and create the link manually, Org will not find such link. See
docstring of org-id-extra-files for some more details.

Hope it helps.

Best,
Ihor
