Hello,

I'm experimenting with a setup where each project is its own org file,
and where I have a master file linking to active projects. How can I
configure org to add every linked file of that master file to the
org-agenda-files?

Thanks,

Alan

You'll probably have to write a custom function to do that, but it
depends on how exactly your master file is set-up, so providing some
details on that would help.

Just guessing at this point, I would imagine you'd want something like
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun path-from-link (link)
   (org-element-property :path link))

(setq org-agenda-files (with-current-buffer
                         (find-file-noselect "master.org")
                         (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer)
                                          '(link)
                                          #'path-from-link)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but the details might make a difference.

Thanks a lot, this is most useful! I did not think it could be this
simple.

Best,

Alan
