Currently, I'm using org-id-get-create to generate a unique ID
for headings that I frequently go to in org-mode.

* Foo
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: F3B14102-A66D-408C-8833-1F9CF7E5047C
:END:

Then, I copy the newly created ID to the kill-ring,
and paste it into a block like this:

(global-set-key (kbd "<f6> f") (lambda () "Goto Foo Org File"
    (interactive)
    (org-id-goto "F3B14102-A66D-408C-8833-1F9CF7E5047C")))

This will map F6-f to jump to Foo.

I know that there are many ways to navigate org-files, but using the
ID is great because it requires only two keystrokes.

This works pretty good, except I'd like to improve three things:

1)  I'd like to be able to see a menu of where I've mapped my shortcuts
2)  I'd like to simplify the creation of these IDs and shortcut keys.
3)  I have about 10 quick-keys now, so I have 30 lines of very similar code

I'm sensing an org-babel type approach where I could define an org-mode
table like this:

| Name | Key       | ID |
| Foo    | "<f6> f"  | 123456779 |

Then, I could loop through the table, and for each row, I could
run this code:

(global-set-key (kbd <COLUMN 2>) (lambda () <COLUMN 1>
    (interactive)
    (org-id-goto <COLUMN 3>)))

Before I do something like this, I'd like to know if anyone's done something
similar or if anyone wants to chime in.

Thanks!
