** Links
Org QL View searches may be accessed by opening ~org-ql-search:~ links in an Org file.
In an Org QL View buffer, the command ~org-store-link~ (i.e. ~C-c l~) stores a link to the current search, and it may be inserted into an Org buffer with the command ~org-insert-link~ (~C-c C-l~). The stored link records all of the view settings, like title, sorting, and grouping.
Simple links may also be written manually in either sexp or non-sexp form, like:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
[[org-ql-search:todo:NEXT priority:A]]
[[org-ql-search:(and (todo "NEXT") (priority "A"))]]

Org QL View searches may be accessed by opening org-ql-search: links
in an Org file.
In an Org QL View buffer, the command org-store-link (i.e. C-c
l) stores a link to the current search, and it may be inserted into an
Org buffer with the command org-insert-link (C-c C-l). The stored
link records all of the view settings, like title, sorting, and
grouping.
Simple links may also be written manually in either sexp or non-sexp
form, like:
[[org-ql-search:todo:NEXT priority:A]]
[[org-ql-search:(and (todo "NEXT") (priority "A"))]]
