Re: [O] Minibuffer popup for org-contacts contact linking?

[John Kitchin]

No particular reasons, it is somewhat low in the priority list right now. There are a lot of experiments in there that I got to a point useful for me, but maybe not to others, and dependencies on helm and ivy that aren't common in org. I would probably like a better cache mechanism, etc.

This looks impressive. Thanks! I need to spend some time with it but loos like I can definitely steal stuff from what you’ve done for my use-cases. 

Out of curiosity, since this looks superior, why did you not fork/contribute PRa to .org-contact to fold these into the package.

thanks again!

Daryl.

I use https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/contacts.el for
something like this. There are helm/ivy interfaces in there for doing
things like you describe. Mostly I use it to fill in email fields in
messages.
