It's clearly an amazing system and the linking via UUID is very useful. My question is: why is linking by UUID (and, more generally, the creation of properties drawers) limited to headlines, and not to sub-elements like list elements or paragraphs? Doesn't all the necessary structural information exist to assign UUIDs to everything? The reason I'm asking is that getting into Org-Roam, the linking for which relies on Org UUIDs for headlines. If UUIDs were available for all elements of an Org file, that will allow for more granular linking behavior.
