This sort of works, but it doesn't give me the correct link when I export to HTML. I was hoping to check links to anchors in HTML files before exporting to HTML, but maybe that was wishful thinking. Oh well, it is easy enough to check such links after exporting to HTML. I don't know enough elisp to be able to think about making Org smarter. Thanks for the help.
