Question: auto jump to layout/workspace on buffer open

[tennysontbardwell]

Disclaimers:

• This might be a basic question. I had a lot of trouble writing the search query for this question
• I am using Spacemacs terminology
• I am asking about "Layers" in my question, but I have the same question with regards to "Sublayers" or "Workspaces"

What currently happens:

1. Create Layout 1 with buffer A. Create Layout 2 with buffer B.
2. In (layout 1) buffer A, open a link to buffer B
3. Buffer B is opened in layout 1

My personal desired behavior:

• Layout 2, Buffer B is slected

Question:

If I am not the first person to want this behavior, are there any discussions that you can link me to? If I am the first person to want this behavior, then do you have any thoughts on if this is reasonable and how I might go about obtaining it?

Justification/Explanation: (to avoid the XY problem)

For my own personal workflow, I am trying to use org-mode, org-roam, the zettelkasten method, and hyperbole to make linking fast and easy. Sometimes, I open a link in my todo.org to project.org. If I previously worked on project.org in my current emacs session, then I want to jump to it

Alternatives:

I suppose that I could define a perspective with a name, and then add some "goto/load this perspective" command in my project.org file.

Maybe this can be achieved by advising the switch-to-buffer, display-buffer, etc... Or other functions used to open the "link".
