If this is what you want IDs for, then you probably want CUSTOM_ID. There is built-in Org syntax for links based on CUSTOM_ID: write your links like [[#some-custom-id]] or [[file:foo.org::#some-custom-id]]. And if you use CUSTOM_ID, then if you ever need ID later (e.g., for something like org-caldav), you won't have a collision between the two different properties. -- Best, Richard
