Hello All,

I'm learning about org-remember and have a question of functionality.

I have a sample org file:

  * Heading One
    :NOTES:
      {cursor here}
    :END:

With the cursor where stated, I hit C-c r and I go into remember mode. 
Enter my text, and C-c C-c stores it.  What I've found out is in order
to view my notes, I need to manually open the file containing my notes
and search for what I just entered.  Once found there is a link back to
the source.  But what about the other direction?

Is there a way for a link to the note to be inserted where the cursor is
located in the original .org file?  So that after hitting C-c C-c, and
possibly entering a label, I get the following:

  * Heading One
    :NOTES:
      _Newly Created Note_    <-- link to note just entered
    :END:

Thanks!

My remember buffer doesn't have that preface.  But based on this
information, no C-u C-c C-c doesn't address my question.

Consider a todo.org file:

  * Today's List
    * Task #1
      {Cursor here}
    * Task #2
    ....
    * Task #n

With the cursor inside Task #1, I press C-cr to get to remember mode.  I
type something like:

   "don't forget to use calling card to avoid long distance charges"

If I hit "C-u C-c C-c" the note will be saved and I'll immediately go to
the notes file to view the note.  Once I get back to my original
todo.org file, there is nothing on Task #1 that links to the note I entered.

Now consider the same thing but when saving the note with some key
press, the note is saved in the note file, we return to the original
todo.org file but now it looks like this:

  * Today's List
    * Task #1
      _Note #1_   <-- link to note: [[file:notes.org::*don't...
    * Task #2
    ....
    * Task #n

Hi David,

one could make a link back to the file and headline.  Better would be
to link back to an entry id, but that is not yet implemented.  I
am actually working on it, but there are a number of fundmental problems
to be solved.  So some day this can be dann, not yet.
