Functions ;; are provided that create and retrieve such identifiers, and that find ;; entries based on the identifier. ;; Identifiers consist of a prefix (default "Org" given by the variable ;; `org-id-prefix') and a unique part that can be created by a number ;; of different methods, see the variable `org-id-method'. ;; Org has a builtin method that uses a compact encoding of the creation ;; time of the ID, with microsecond accuracy. This virtually ;; guarantees globally unique identifiers, even if several people are ;; creating IDs at the same time in files that will eventually be used ;; together. ;; ;; By default Org uses UUIDs as global unique identifiers. ;; ;; This file defines the following API: ;; ;; org-id-get ;; Get the ID property of an entry. Using appropriate arguments ;; to the function, it can also create the ID for this entry. ;; ;; org-id-goto ;; Command to go to a specific ID, this command can be used ;; interactively. ;; ;; org-id-get-with-outline-path-completion ;; Retrieve the ID of an entry, using outline path completion. ;; This function can work for multiple files. ;; ;; org-id-get-with-outline-drilling ;; Retrieve the ID of an entry, using outline path completion. ;; This function only works for the current file. ;; ;; org-id-find ;; Find the location of an entry with specific id. ;; ;;; Code: (require 'org) (require 'cl-lib) ;;; Customization (defgroup org-id nil "Options concerning global entry identifiers in Org-mode." :tag "Org ID" :group 'org) (defcustom org-id-link-to-org-use-id nil "Non-nil means storing a link to an Org file will use entry IDs. \\\ The variable can have the following values: t Create an ID if needed to make a link to the current entry. create-if-interactive If `org-store-link' is called directly (interactively, as a user command), do create an ID to support the link.
