Linking back to archive

Hi list,

I have a gtd.org with my projects and next actions as org items. When I'm
done with them, I archive, and they go to gtd.org_archive.

Sometimes, I create a new org file for a project, to keep notes and other
reference material. Let's say I have this in my gtd.org:

* Project :project:
   file://~/org/reference/project.org
** TODO Foo
** TODO Bar


When the Project is done in gtd.org, and I archive it, I'd like to add a
link back to the Project org item in gtd.org_archive from project.org. I
tried opening gtd.org_archive and then pressing C-l on the "* Project"
headline, then opening project.org and C-c C-l, and while it does paste the
org link, that looks like: file:~/org/gtd/gtd.org_archive::*Project, if I
click it nothing happens.

What could be wrong?

Thanks,

- Marcelo.

Mhh.. I tested this and it works fine here.  I guess we need more
information and a reproducible recipe with emacs -Q.  Can you provide
that?

Thanks,

Not an answer to your direct question but a comment:

I am linking entries in my Org files with IDs:

* ProjectA
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID: projA
  :END:

... will be linked as id:projA and this works in all of my (agenda?)
files.

You just have to make sure that the ID is unique. I am using
datestamps as starting strings so that I only have to make them
unique for one day :-)  (like: 2012-08-16projA)
