[emacs-berlin] linkin-org is out!!

[Julien]

Thanks!

I'll be doing the melpa process tomorrow, hopefully the package can be aded soon.

About the pdf links.
If we want to have more involved links built in org mode, it would be great to define a standard way to encode information inside a link.
As of now (afaik), we can only encode one information (the string to be searched, or the line to go to).
More information is needed for pdf links (page number, and edges to highlight). Stangely, I could not implement the inline link (that jumps to an id written inside the file) with the builtin links (as following the link can then take you to that same link, since the string to search is contained in the link).

Linkin-org proposes such a format --- basically, a link is made of the path followed by a plist. It has many advantages imo: easy to understand, to extract (judt call the "read" function on the plist). I think it would be great to have something like that that org parses out of the box (that amounts to add a new field in the parsed org element containing the plist of the link, which is what linkin-org does).
