In [1], storing links to named elements was discussed. AFAICT, no patches came from that discussion. The current behavior is that given: * Headline #+Name: foo org-store-link will store a link to `*Headline' rather than `foo'. Attached is a very rough first attempt at patching org-store-link to recognize and link to the name. Is this approach worth fleshing out or are there problems associated with this type of link? Using the above example, [[foo]] seems to be a valid link, recognized by both export and org-open-at-point. If doable, a couple of specific questions: This attached patch makes no attempt to store the file name as currently done for headlines. Would it be better to check for a name in the headline linking code (the final "t" in the org-mode-p `cond' in org-store-link) or rather reproduce file name code separately. Does a context string make sense for links to element names? Regards, Jake [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/91935
