Hi,
is there a way already to execute a (named source block) by creating a
link type?
I checked the manual and there is a link type for shell and elisp but
it seems not for babel.
Something like
[[babel: src_block_name()][Text]]
With this, one could create all kind of little features within an org-file
* start often used shell, python, and other language scripts,
* start little GUIs in a different programming language (e.g., java
works fine) to allow a more mouse centric input (there was a tablet
discussion recently)
* link blocks to descriptive text making reproducible research more
readable (e.g. ...after the applying a _FFT-transform_, the dataset
was _plotted_....)
Would be nice to have the option to either execute the link and to
jump to the code block
All the best
Totti

No such link type exists, although the custom link creation
functionality is fairly powerful so I would imagine that you could
create such a link type locally without any requirement to modify the
Org-mode source code. If you do this it would be a fun thing to share
on the list and/or on worg.
As an interim solution the `sbe' function could be used inside of an
elisp link to easily execute code blocks in the same way it is used in
table formula.
