So I looked through the Git log and found that it was introduced on 1/18/2010. That's just over two weeks after the package was added to Emacs[1]! Other than a 4 year old Reddit post[2], there've been no bug reports or mailing list discussions about it in the fourteen years since the bug was introduced. This gives me the impression that very few people are using the org-ctags package. That's surprising, because it seems like it could be very useful. It allows for linking to "direct targets" from external files[3], which is similar to the "come-from" links that Howm implements. It's a very low-effort, low-friction way to add links between different notes. Is there some other way to create this sort of simple external link in org-mode? Is there some other package that provides a similar feature?
