Links between org files

emacs, org-mode

Solution

Use the `C-c C-l` shortcut to create link and use the syntax

file:./file2.org

and use `C-c C-o` with cursor on link to visit that link.

To link to a specific item, use

     file:projects.org::*task title            heading search in Org file

the doc: http://orgmode.org/org.html#External-links

you can even search for words:

file:projects.org::some words

Problem

Say I have two org files, `file1.org` and `file2.org` on disk (let's assume they are in the same directory). How can create a link on `file1.org` to `file2.org`? Once I have the link on `file1.org`, let's assume I have cursor (point) sitting on that link. How can I tell Emacs to show me the corresponding file? Finally, what if I want to create a link to a specific item of `file2.org` ?
