I cannot replicate this on Linux, but there do seem to be some
inconsistencies with how Org-mode is escaping/unescaping links:
AFAICT, Org-mode itself is not modifying the "#". The relevant lines of
org-open-at-point are 10747-10748:
((functionp (org-link-get-parameter type :follow))
(funcall (org-link-get-parameter type :follow) path))
Just simply copying and pasting the link from the browser, I found that
`path` at the lines above is:
//ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#search/q=author:"Dominik,C"/metrics
Note: the time one gets to this point, the path has already been
unescaped (see line 10712).
Meanwhile, `type` is...
https
...which results in org-open-at-point calling the following:
(lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "https:" path)))
However, there are inconsistencies when one turns the pasted url above
into an actual org-link (e.g., by calling org-insert-link).
Then the link in org-mode looks like this (note that the escape
percentage characters are themselves escaped, which seems a bit strange
to me):
[[https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#search/q=author%253A%2522Dominik%252CC%2522/metrics]]
Now when you open at point, the `path` at line 10748 is:
//ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#search/q=author%3A%22Dominik%2CC%22/metrics
Hope this helps in debugging.
Matt
