This is a moderately difficult contribution. As a first step, you will
need to study org-id.el and see what should be changed there to support
the new feature.
If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask here.
Also, before you invest too much time into this, please check if you can
do FSF copyright assignment (see
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#copyright). As a GNU
project, we cannot accept large contributions without this paperwork.
