* Why are (UU)IDs limited to the headline level? @ 2021-01-18 2:17 arozbiz 2021-01-19 0:14 ` Dr. Arne Babenhauserheide 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: arozbiz @ 2021-01-18 2:17 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 607 bytes --] I'm just getting into Emacs/Org-Mode. It's clearly an amazing system and the linking via UUID is very useful. My question is: why is linking by UUID (and, more generally, the creation of properties drawers) limited to headlines, and not to sub-elements like list elements or paragraphs? Doesn't all the necessary structural information exist to assign UUIDs to everything? The reason I'm asking is that getting into Org-Roam, the linking for which relies on Org UUIDs for headlines. If UUIDs were available for all elements of an Org file, that will allow for more granular linking behavior.

It does not work globally though. One cannot just put [[id:some-anchor-name]] link in other file. Best, Ihor ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
