How about looking at the manual? org-store-link and org-insert-link are
pretty good starting point.

If the target file is going to be modified in non-trivial manner I
suggest one of the following:

1. Plain old bookmarks
2. Plain old TODO, FIXME or [YOUR INITIALS] markers
3. Collecting the function tags in the Org file as headlines and jumping
   to it.

Summary: Your imagined workflow sounds cool but would suck very
soon. Don't ask me why
