Cannot follow link: Point is not at a Markdown link or URL

[cyrus-and]

Expected Behavior

The link should open.

Actual Behavior

An error is generated:

Point is not at a Markdown link or URL

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a .md file with:

   ---
   
   [link](https://example.com)
   
   ---
   

2. Click on link or C-c C-o while the point is on it (the error is Nothing to follow at point in this case).

I think the problem is that your link is in a YAML metadata block.

[cyrus-and]

I think too, but the example is a perfectly fine Markdown file where --- is the horizontal rule.

[saf-dmitry]

If you have --- at the BOF, it starts a YAML metadata block continuing until the next line containing only --- or ....

[cyrus-and]

Yes, what I meant was that links in YAML metadata block should behave as regular links IMHO because there is no mention of YAML in the Markdown specs AFAIK.

@syohex the C-c C-o part is now fixed, thanks! But clicking on the link still yields the same behavior.
