Hello,

Since some days links in properties blocks do not work any more.  With
org-open-at-point on the URL in the following block

#+begin_src org
** Media Broadcast
:PROPERTIES:
:KIND:     organisation
:URL:      http://www.media-broadcast.com
:END:
#+end_src

I get the message "No link found".  The same link outside the PROPERTIES
block opens the browser like expected.

Best regards

Hi Michael,

This is a temporary limitation due to the recent rewrite
of `org-open-at-point'.

There is a discussion on how to compensate the limitations:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/82949

Another limitation is that you cannot open links in comments.

One idea is to let `org-open-at-point' fall back on (browse-url
(thing-at-point 'url)) in areas where links are not syntactically
accepted, while still "visually" present.

We cannot sort this out too quickly, as this needs reasonable
feedback from users.

Thanks,

I'm using links in PROPERTIES blocks on a regular basis in my contacts
file.  There I have email addresses, urls and phone numers that are
custom links.
