Hi,

Lines like this (from the manual):

#+INCLUDE: "~/.emacs" :lines "10-"    Include lines from 10 to EOF

could be more flexible if we were able to do:

#+INCLUDE: "~/.emacs" :link [[link to a headline]]

because it allows the included file to change (e.g) the number of header
lines.  There may also be a use for an offset argument, e.g. two lines
below the headline, but I haven't really thought that through yet:

#+INCLUDE: "~/.emacs" :link [[link to a headline]]+2

Patches welcome!  (Thought I'd get in first with that.)

Myles
