Re: Radio targets in comment lines

Thank you Nicolas! I will think about a patch for the FAQ. I don't quite understand one of your comments:

> There is no point in making radio targets invisible. 

I think that invisible radio targets are precisely what I want - that's why I made so many of them in comments under the old system. Am I missing something? I've tried putting the radio targets in a :LOGBOOK:, which works fine in Emacs, but not after export. Perhaps I should use some other type of non-exported drawer?

For what it is worth, I am trying to able to paste text from academic papers (with multiple possible citation styles) and have links to notes elsewhere in the file appear automatically.

* Author Year
<<<Author et al., Year>>>
<<<Author et al. (Year)>>>

I am not using the radio targets in a sentence and therefore I don't want them to be visible. I could use <<Author et al., Year>> to make an invisible target (or use a custom ID), but then to link I would need [[Author et al., Year]], instead of simply Author et al., Year. Does this make sense, is there some workaround I'm missing, or should I give up on this clumsy system?

Best,
  Steen
