Because you can write something more meaningful than "1:2:1" when using a CUSTOM_ID. >> - it translates nicely to "id" tag in HTML. > > You can generate the "id" tag in HTML like this 1-2-1 (if HTML dislikes > 1:2:1 tag) CUSTOM_ID is built-in, without implementing anything. > Isn't a good idea to add such a built in link type in the long term? IMO, Org has enough internal link types. In particular, this one brings little value compared to CUSTOM_ID. It is fragile wrt re-ordering, refiling, capture... It may be a headache to export, too, because "1.2.1" may mean something entirely different once non-exportable trees have been pruned. No offence intended, but it really sounds like a false good idea.
