The option org-return-follows-link is wonderfully convenient except when the point is at the end of the line where the intention is usually to insert a carriage return.
What's the best way to change this behavior to insert a carriage return in this edge case?
I made the following modification to org-return. I'll change the correct answer if a better one is offered.
((and org-return-follows-link
+ (not (eolp))
(or (org-at-timestamp-p t)
(org-at-date-range-p t)
(org-in-regexp org-any-link-re)))
eolp instead of comparing point manually: gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Near-Point.html . Also, this would be a great contribution to org-mode.

oelp. It's definitely the behavior I want, but technically the point is within the link pattern. Some people might consider it sloppy behavior :-\

[[org][links]] - if you paste a url into a blank line and hit return, the link is followed. Thanks for this solution. Using Org-mode 8.3.3-2-g6bc48c-elpa.

I would prefer this, as it simply disables follow-link:
;point at eol should not follow link
(defun my/org-return ()
"disable org-return-follows-link if at bol or eol"
(interactive)
(let* ((follow org-return-follows-link)
(org-return-follows-link (and follow (not (or (bolp) (eolp))))))
(org-return)))
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "<return>") 'my/org-return)
Also, I just noticed that what I really want is this:
;C-m should always just edit text
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-m") 'newline-and-indent)
my soluton for history purpose. Patch for original code not needed.
(defun bss/my-org-return ()
"Insert newline if we at beginng or end of line"
(interactive)
(if (or (eolp) (bolp))
(newline-and-indent)
(org-return)))
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "<return>") 'bss/my-org-return)
