Hi Ihor

It seems Rick gave a step towards the direction of links to points? It 
would seem that if the Search Option would be available for internal 
links, it would work. Then maybe we would just miss a convenient way for 
generating unique <<labels>>.

Bests.

Rick is suggesting the use of internal links with the search option of 
file links. I believe this would be a positive step towards improving 
the linking ecosystem. By relying on unique IDs rather than file names, 
these links would remain functional even if headings are refiled or 
files are moved.
However, I don't see the need for ID inheritance.

Hello Alan.
It is possible to achieve this by utilizing the Search Option of file 
links. For instance, you can link to the point 
<<20231014T033851.173165>> from any other file using the following 
format: [[file:~/xx.org::20231014T033851.173165]]

Hi, Samuel. A similar approach is feasible, but it involves using file 
links instead of internal links.
