Too many URL links

[nobiot]

@gcoladon

I don’t find the http links to be particularly helpful – do others? I am thinking of ways to just disable their collection across the board. They clutter up org-roam-graphs, and I don’t use them for organization in any way that I’m aware of.

I don’t use URLs in my notes but I believe storing http(s) links is for roam_refs. In this post I attempted to describe what they do. It was for V1 but I think it still applies to V2 – please correct me if I’m mistaken.

Re how to ignore http links for caching, org-roam-db-map-links is called like this.

            (org-roam-db-map-links
             info
             (list #'org-roam-db-insert-link))

Perhaps you could simply override org-roam-db-insert-link and ignore links of type “http” or something for web – I believe the type variable can be used to single out ID links.
