Not directly, but I think you could do something like this as a halfway-house:
┌────
│ Blah blah text ABBR
│
│ * Abbreviations
│
│ - <<<ABBR>>> :: Some abbreviation
│ ...
└────
I’d think there’s scope for a package say “org-abbreviations” which provides
acro-like support. Perhaps even support for a central abbreviations file. Hmm, I
may think of trying a small MVP for that this weekend.
All the best,
Timothy
