[BUG] org-open-at-point-global fails on links with multiline descriptions in org-mode buffers [9.6.6 (release_9.6.6 @ /usr/share/emacs/29.1/lisp/org/)]

[Omar Antolín Camarena]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have an org link with a newline embedded in the description in an 
org-mode buffer and put point on it, org-open-at-point correctly follows the 
link but org-open-at-point-global does not, it instead reports "No link found". 
(I have plenty of org links with newlines in the description, because 
org-fill-paragraph tends to reformat links that way.)

I understand that it is reasonable for org-open-at-point-global's regexp-based 
approach to only look for single-line links and am not suggesting this be 
changed for non-org-mode buffers, but I would like to suggest that 
org-open-at-point-global check to see if it is being run in an Org mode buffer 
and if so just call org-open-at-point. That way users can bind 
org-open-at-point-global and use that key binding everywhere including org-mode 
buffers without loss of functionality compared to org-open-at-point.
