Dear Puneeth,
The org-mode link works magically. Thanks!
But the same doesn't work for the generated html page.
The pages get built, and the ID gets created, the html href contains that
unique ID, but the browser is unable to load foo.html from the link in
bar.html.

Did you get any success on that front? Any ideas? I'm running org-mode 7.4.
