my org ref version was 20160503 from elpa. I updated it to 20161129 and
here the part of org-ref-open-bibtex-notes that inserts a link to the
pdf is commented out. However I like this functionality, so I keep the
older version of org-ref-open-bibtex-notes in my init file.

Sorry about asking about a functionality that has been removed, but I
still do not understand why it it does expand my ~/dir to
/home/user/dir.

My org-ref-open-bibtex-notes is set to adaptive.

It might happen here, but I do not understand elisp enough to tell:

(setq pdf (-first 'f-file?
		  (--map (f-join it (concat key ".pdf"))
			 (-flatten (list org-ref-pdf-directory)))))

(if (file-exists-p pdf)
    (insert (format
	     " [[file:%s][pdf]]\n\n"
	     pdf)))


Cheers,

Georg
