Suggestion: Exported org-roam links in PDF output should point to PDF files, not org files #241

When I export an org-roam file to PDF, any org-roam links in the original document get translated into links to an org file in the exported PDF, and Acrobat doesn't know what to do with such links. It would seem to make more sense for these links to point to the PDF file that would result from exporting that org file, in much the same way the HTML export already works.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm afraid this has absolutely nothing to do with ORB. Exporting is done neither by ORB nor by Org-roam, but by the built-in Org org-export (ox) library. That said, you are welcome to discuss this issue on Org-roam Discourse. It probably requires a few small tweaks to the export configuration.
