Preparing for org-roam v2

A big redesign is on the way for how org-roam works - lots of discussion here. The biggest change seems to be a move to use id links rather than file links.

Lots of people in the thread seem happy about this. A couple of things that I'm concerned about:

• will this work fine with org-publish?

• are you then more dependent on org / org-roam to view these files?

  I think things will probably work with org-publish fine, as id links are a long-standing org-mode thing in their own right, not a thing new to org-roam.

  The second point bugs me a bit. I sometimes read my private wiki in orgzly / orgro on my phone. I wonder how this will be affected. Also I just like file links as being slightly more software-agnostic.

  Hey ho. I'll try using id links for a bit now. They work already in org-roam v1 from what I understand, as well as file links.

  Some snippets I'll add to my config:

(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t)
(setq org-id-method 'ts) 
(setq org-roam-prefer-id-links t)

and

(defun ngm/org-hide-properties ()
  "Hide org headline's properties using overlay."
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward
            "^ *:PROPERTIES:\n\\( *:.+?:.*\n\\)+ *:END:\n" nil t)
      (overlay-put (make-overlay
                    (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))
                   'display ""))))

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'ngm/org-hide-properties)
