Hi Thorsten,

The idea is to allow the option of keeping your notes in your agenda
files, so that you can do everything Org does.  If you only keep them
in comments, you can't do searches, for example.

To do this, you put an ID in the comments.  Then you have a command
that will take you to the entry with that ID in your agenda files.
The same command -- e.g. C-c ' -- will take you back to the correct
place in the source file.  If you are in the source file, it will
search for the closest ID.

So you can say this:

  (let ((foo bar))
    ;; $[id ...]
    (something-to-be-documented

and then in your Org files you have

  * my elisp notes
  ** something
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID: ...
  :END:

  my notes

I don't know how dynamic blocks would fit into that.

This puts elisp in elisp and Org in Org.

I like your idea too and consider this to be just an optional feature.
