Hi

I'm exploring the new option implemented in org 9.7:

"id: links support search options like [[id:my-id::*child heading]]: Any 
valid fuzzy location will work as a search option."


Do you use any way to generate UNIQUE search contexts?


I was thinking about submitting this feature request, but probably it 
will have caveats:

If the search context is in the form "fn:number", update that "number" 
too when normalizing footnotes (org-footnote-normalize.

For example:

* headline 1

:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       2024-08-25T121008356645
:END:

blah blah [fn:20] blah

* headline 2

The goal is to automatically create unique search contexts using the 
features of the footnotes, like in this link to 
[[id:2024-08-25T121008356645::fn:20][blah]]

Caveat 1: If the footnote reference has not a footnote definition, 
after (org-footnote-normalize) a definition proposal appears (even if 
Org Footnote Define Inline is set to "t").

Caveat 2: If the proposed "id:link" is in a different file than the 
footnote reference, it could be impractical updating its fn:number with 
(org-footnote-normalize).

Interesting option: setting Org Footnote Auto Label to "Create a random 
label" could work as it is to generate unique search contexts. Just 
never, never, ever  (org-footnote-normalize) should be used.

fn:20 is not a supported search term.
For example, [[fn:20]] link will not work.
[fn:20] is special - it is a footnote reference, not link.
