Hello,

yes, that might help. Org-file =references.org= is a list of bibliographic
references. Each entry is actually an item in a description list, like so

#+BEGIN_SRC
  - <<HASH1962>>
[[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0022-5096(62)90004-2][Hashinand Shtrikman
(1962)]] :: Z. Hashin and S. Shtrikman, /On some variational
principles in anisotropic and nonhomogeneous elasticity/, Journal of the
Mechanics and Physics of Solids 10(4):335-342, 1962
#+END_SRC

Then, in other org files, I'd like to refer to one of the items in the
list. For example, I would like to write something like

Using the energy principle of Hashin and Shtrikman (1962), an upper bound
on the elastic moduli can be derived.

Once exported to html, I would like the text 'Hashin [...] (1962)' to be a
hyperlink which should point to references.html#HASH1962.

Do you need more details? How can I achieve that result?

Sébastien
