I would not want it to be in a separate file, but that could be arranged also, in principle. I have also wanted to include the body text of a node without any structure at all directly into some text. Just insert those paragraphs into the middle of the body text of a node using org-id to specify the text to be included. I don't know if we are all talking about the same thing. If babel or links don't work adequately for this purpose the way they are now, there is a specific proposal for a universal syntax that might be useful. It hasn't been implemented yet. Search for "extensible syntax" and "parsing risk" and "ID markers". It's been discussed for text color and link visitedness, among other things. Samuel
