I routinely tweak the text of the target headings as I edit the document.  For example, the section heading "Introduction to Technology Contracts" might become, say, "Introduction:  Why Technology Contracts are Fun."  

I don't want to have to manually revise the link text for the many internal cross-reference links that exist in the document.  I'd really like to have a way for a link to automatically retrieve the heading text during HTML export.

Why don't you use

[[#IntroTechContracts][Introduction to Technology Contracts]]

as a link?  It is the link stored by org-store-link, and later
inserted by org-insert-link, and AFAICS it is correctly exported.

But it's true there are a few things we can make more consistent
in this area though, so thanks for bringing this up.

Best,
