Instead of CUSTOM_ID I prefer to use a dedicated target (between double
angular brackets). This way the link target is conspicuous, which
reduces the chance of me inadvertently removing or moving that heading
and causing dead links. One disadvantage is that it generates ugly HTML
anchors. But why does Org not use the dedicated target text as an
anchor?
