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.=20

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=
