+    Open the link under the cursor. {split} can have the following values:
+        'nosplit'       open the link in the current window
+        'vsplit'        open in a vertically split window
+        'hsplit'        open in a horizontally split window
+        'tab'           open in a new tab
+
+    If {reuse} is 1 and {split} one of 'vsplit' or 'hsplit', open the link in
+    a possibly existing split window instead of making a new split.
+
+    If {move_cursor} is 1 the cursor moves to the window or tab with the
+    opened link, otherwise, it stays in the window or tab with the link.
+
+    For example, <CR> is per default mapped to
+    vimwiki#base#follow_link('nosplit', 0, 1)
