Caveat emptor: I'm not an Org user.

Does the above mean that this example in Org manual[1] doesn't work
OOTB?

  C-c C-x C-n (org-next-link)
  C-c C-x C-p (org-previous-link)

    Move forward/backward to the next link in the buffer. At the limit
    of the buffer, the search fails once, and then wraps around. The key
    bindings for this are really too long; you might want to bind this
    also to M-n and M-p.

      (with-eval-after-load 'org
        (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "M-n") #'org-next-link)
        (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "M-p") #'org-previous-link))

Best, Arash
