i am confused. org-stored-links is a command? what are the known
user needs for storing and pasting links?
i am also unclear on why we have a dedicated paste function as opposed
to kill ring. probably a good reason. but wfm.
i merely wanted to store then yank a link. which in bugfix errors if
dup. i also envisioned other less defined use cases.
stprog link several times could include having colelected a bunch of
links, perhaps in sequene but in the meantime wanting to copy and
paste a single link that is by coincidence in that list? i could
imagine such a thing.
