  To: Org Mode


I use links to files quite often in Org Mode. Either by C-l file: or
drag-and-drop (with smart-dnd). But when files move, the links break.

BibDesk solves this by storing Mac OS Aliases to files. Then if files
move, the alias still works. BibDesk actually stores more:

Is there a way to add this feature to Org Mode? Yes, obviously, since
this is emacs and Org Mode. But has anyone already done this? Any advice
where to start?

Thanks,

  -k.
