Hypertext in Emacs: find-file-at-point

The org-mode extension to emacs is popular in part because it lets
you create and follow hyperlinks between files. This is useful for
keeping notes organized.

Depending on your needs, you may not need org-mode for simple linked
notes. That's because there is a standard emacs keybinding that lets
you open the file path under your cursor.

C-x C-f M-n

The first two keypresses invoke the "find-file" command, the last
autocompletes using "find-file-at-point".

I find this particularly useful when I'm editing the notes, formatted
as gemtext, that constitute this site. Thanks to this command, I
haven't seen the need to install a special gemtext mode.
