If I have a document like this:
* some header <<some_target>>
** some subtree
*** some entry
Then calling org-get-outline-path on the deepest headline returns
("some header <<some_target>>" "some subtree")
I don't know what exactly org-get-outline-path is used for in org
mode, but for what I want to use it, I will remove the
"<<some_target>>" part manually.
I was just wondering if maybe this should already be done in
org-get-outline-path itself, since links are also replaced by their
description according to the documentation.
regards,
timor

Links and targets are different in the sense that the former has an
invisible part, unlike to the latter. `org-get-outline-path' simply
removes that part since users probably do not distinguish their headings
using hidden characters.
OTOH, it could make sense to preserve targets, e.g., in the following:
* Doc 1
** Introduction <<intro1>>
...
* Doc 2
** Introduction <<intro2>>
...
Eventually, albeit tangential to the problem, I think using a CUSTOM_ID
is probably better than inserting a target in a headline.

Hello Nicolas,
Custom IDs seem to be a good alternative here, although I would think
about the <<target>> part as an invisible part, since I don't expect
it to be visible for e.g. export.
Thanks.
