I guess I was hoping that org-mode would be smart enough to adjust links or look in the archive file but maybe that is too complicated. Is there a suggested work-around to preserve links when you archive something? Alternatively, maybe I'm not using archive properly. My general mode of operation is to have a file with my master to do list and another file for my daily plan (with a separate node for each day). In each day's node, I link to the master to-do list. Then when I finish a task in the master list, I archive it (which breaks the link). I would appreciate pointers to better modes of operation. Thanks, -Emin
