Re: Links to external targets with (or despite) org-ref

[John Kitchin]

You are welcome.

I also discovered just now that you can do C-u C-u C-c C-l to skip storing functions that are not part of org-core.

If anyone knows how to use store functions that do not clobber the build in ones, I would be happy to update org-ref so you can use all the link store options.

Hi John

That's working well. Thank you very much. And thousand thanks for
org-ref in general.
