Hello,
This is a little proposition about changing the behaviour of
`org-agenda-goto' which typically gets triggered when pressing TAB on an
line in the Org agenda.
The proposition affects only the case of an agenda line due to a
timestamp outside a planning line (i.e. SCHEDULED or DEADLINE.)
Up to now `org-agenda-goto' jumps always to the corresponding headline.
With the patch `org-agenda-goto' would jump directly to the line
containing the timestamp.
If you use plain lists with timestamps this can be helpful.
Let's say in an Org file you have the following plain list.
* test
- <2017-10-07 Sat 16:25> Start writing the RFC.
- <2017-10-07 Sat 16:29> Thought: "Will somebody notice?"
- <2017-10-07 Sat 16:30> Sent the RFC to the list.
For each list item a corresponding line appears in the day agenda.
.tmp .:16:25...... test
.tmp .:16:29...... test
.tmp .:16:30...... test
Pressing TAB in the agenda would jump to the respective plain list item.
Find the concrete patch below.
WDYT?
Best regards
Marco

I have the feeling that both behaviours are useful. All things being
equal, this is the entry being displayed in the Agenda, not necessarily
the line containing the timestamp. Moreover this feature could be less
meaningful if `org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry' is
non-nil.
Maybe an optional argument could allow one to switch from one behaviour
to the other. I have no strong opinion about this, though.
Regards,

Thanks!
I just found function `org-agenda-switch-to' which is similar to
`org-agenda-goto' but does not the jump to the headline.
I personally configure this function to be on shift-tab.
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map [(backtab)] #'org-agenda-switch-to)
So no need for a change.
Thanks again and best regards
Marco

And, as a bonus, org-agenda-switch-to is bound to RET by default. I've
happily been hitting return since 2008 to jump directly to timestamps.
:)
The only difference, if I remember correctly, is that
org-agenda-switch-to replaces the agenda buffer with the target org
buffer, whereas org-agenda-goto shows the target org buffer in another
window.
Best,
Matt

One thing I would really like is the timestamp behavior of
org-agenda-goto with the windows behavior of org-agenda-switch-to.

You could "advise" the function?

Yes, this is something I could do. Thanks for the suggestion.

... and maybe share the solution? I would like the same as you, but
emacs lisp is still unexplored territory to me.

I don't see how to realize the issue by using 'advise' but you could
use a new function which does it.
Put the code
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-agenda-switch-to-in-other-window (&optional delete-other-windows)
"Go to the Org mode file which contains the item at point in other window.
When optional argument DELETE-OTHER-WINDOWS is non-nil, the
displayed Org file fills the frame."
(interactive)
(if (and org-return-follows-link
(not (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker))
(org-in-regexp org-bracket-link-regexp))
(org-open-link-from-string (match-string 0))
(let* ((marker (or (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker)
(org-agenda-error)))
(buffer (marker-buffer marker))
(pos (marker-position marker)))
(unless buffer (user-error "Trying to switch to non-existent buffer"))
(switch-to-buffer-other-window buffer)
(when delete-other-windows (delete-other-windows))
(widen)
(goto-char pos)
(when (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
(org-show-context 'agenda)
(run-hooks 'org-agenda-after-show-hook)))))
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "\C-u\C-m" #'org-agenda-switch-to-in-other-window)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
into your emacs init file to get the the behavior you want with the key
C-u RET.
The function above is almost the same as `org-agenda-switch-to' which is
currently bound to RET in org agenda.
