Is it possible to refer to section numbers in links?

Is it possible to refer to section numbers in links?

[Martin Gürtler]

Hi,

I wonder whether there is an easy way to refer to section numbers in ODT
export. TOCs including these numbers can be produced automatically
during export. Does anybody have an idea how one could access that
information inside the org file?

Thanks,

Martin

What you ask for, is currently not possible. It is easily doable
though. I will add your request to my TODO list. I will let you know
once I am done with it.

For the sake of clarity and for my own later reference, does the
attached Org file/ODT file capture what you want? One of the links in
the ODT file is hand-edited with LibreOffice for the sake of
illustration.

  This is what ODT exporter does right now - [[First%20Headline][First Headline]].This is
  what I want instead - .

Yes. I think of 

As explained in Sec. [[*some_chapter]] it is highly desirable to be able
to refer to section numbers.

resulting in

As explained in Sec. 2.1.3. it is highly desirable to be able to refer
to section numbers.
 
Probably we need some option that tells the exporter to export section
numbers for description-less links referring to org-mode headlines.
I could also imagine  the word "Sec." to trigger the insertion of a
section number, but then the thing becomes language dependent.

Thanks,

It will be standard across all major back-ends in the next export engine
(which is actually experimental).
