I'd like to use internal links to connect notes with their sources. For instance: ---- * Auther, Title, Year. <<>> [...] * Note "Here is a quote." AuthorYear ---- If I plan on having hundreds such links in a file (and perhaps thousands in all my org files), would there be any performance gained by using explicit internal links instead of the radio targets? I.e., <> [[AuthorYear]] I'm assuming the difference would be minimal but would like to confirm this before committing to the first method. Needless to say, it would be easier to convert the second type of links to the first with search/replace than the first to the second. Thanks, Matt
