I have a feature request that I'm wondering whether it would be suitable.
The idea is to add a new protocol that looks like
"org-protocol://goto-heading?id=UUID-HERE" that jumps to the specified Org
heading in Emacs. The implementation is really simple:
;;;###autoload
(defun goto-heading (arg)
"Org protocol handler for navigating to Org headings.
ARG is a property list."
(org-id-goto (plist-get arg :id))
(raise-frame))
(then add the appropriate item to org-protocol-protocol-alist-default)
The use case for this is to be able to link to Org headings from external
programs, e.g., Google Docs.

It may be convenient in some cases. I prefer custom_id properties
however since it provides some hint what is the link target. I am
unsure, but maybe if you post complete recipe for customization and a
bit more verbose description of use cases, more people will try it and
will suggest possible improvements. In my opinion, currently conscious
choices require more effort that actual code.

- It seems `org-id-goto' does not call `org-mark-ring-push' (unlike
`org-id-open' that is non-interactive). As a result it is impossible tu
jump back using C-&.
- Should that heading be opened in current window or in other one?
- Likely other variants of specifying targets will be requested soon. Is
it necessary to support file+custom_id, file+heading text, file+line
number? If so, files should be filtered somehow to prevent security
issues when attempt of opening of specific file (executable, image,
etc.) can cause unexpected actions.
- Maybe even subprotocol name is not the best one.
