scope of properties in a narrowed buffer, links in certain environments etc.

Hi Carsten and list,

due to all the traffic on the list (Good Thing) and too much traffic on 
the railroad to work this morning (Bad Thing), I went reading up on the 
org-mode mailing list and installed the latest version today (was coming 
from 4.56), and trying to use column view and properties. Which are 
great. In my enthousiasm however, I discovered some bugs, especially 
after an `org-narrow-to-subtree'-call.

Column view on a narrowed subtree does take into account the file-wide 
#+COLUMNS directive,  but *not* the :COLUMNS: property of a parent tree 
outside of the narrowing.
Actually, this issue seems to be larger: `org-set-property' does scan 
the whole file for properties, but prop_ALL from a parent tree outside 
of the narrowing does not have any effect on the values shown.

In column view links are not propertised as links, so the full text 
shows. Also, C-c C-o does not work here to follow a link in a line (or 
rather: column).

Whilst on the subject of links, in the agenda buffer, for some reason 
C-c C-o has trouble when a link is not on the end of a line. The 
following in org-agenda-open-link patch fixes this:
(however, it will still just follow the /first/ link on the line)

diff -w "c:/tmp/org-5.12c/org.el" "c:/tmp/org-5.12c/org2.el"

Greetings to you all!

Fixed, thanks.

This cannot be changed, because columns are a display property already, 
and links
also need a display property.

I guess this could be made to work.
