Thanks for the su= ggestion. It doesn't really meet my needs here in that I'm really l= ooking for org to behave more like a filesystem, not something that I have = to manually commit changes to.

If this doesn't= already exist, does org already provide hooks or something that I can plug= in to? I would assume a heading-created and heading-modified hook of some = kind would allow me to implement my own solution fairly cleanly.=C2=A0
