Right. The difference is that aw-org-pw re-narrows when navigating to
a different section. Maybe that is a feature that would be useful
directly in org instead. Maybe pre/post-link-follow hooks could do that?

Also aw-org-pw autowidens on isearch. (the reason for that is that when
used as a personal wiki each section should be small, so searching is
seldom required within a section, and searching the full "wiki" is
more useful).

(aw-org-pw narrowing hides the actual header line too, partially to
prevent renaming sections as they have links to them, and partially
because it already puts the title in the header-line)

Indeed, much like org-wikinodes.el.

But the more I think about it maybe I should just use [[...]] as it
would greatly simplify the implementation.

Oh, I wasn't aware of the existance of the org mark ring. Interesting.
It doesn't work outside narrowed region. Also the breadcrumbs in
aw-org-pw keeps track of the section name, which and shows "back:
Previouslyvisitedsection" in the header-line.

But I guess I should build on top of the org mark ring instead of
reinventing it completely.

Thanks for your input!
