That is great feature. I have got many good tips from you and I slowly process them and implement such. I knew about org-store-link and not that I used it much within Emacs. Such feature is necessary in any system managing hyperlinks. Programmers are exposed to let us say WWW but may not know where the roots come from and that hyperlinking was envisioned back in time even before modern computers. Memex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex Now we have `evince' PDF viewer that can open PDF I think by page number and by query but it cannot do the equivalent `evince-store-link' so user has to think about the file name and page number and so on. We have browsers that each of them think for themselves. Each can store bookmarks but hardly provide such to external programs. Almost none browser can store specific paragraph based bookmark. They rely mostly on anchors as finely specified greed. Bookmarks could be by HTML page number or query or paragraph. Even modern browsers have very poor functions of managing bookmarks. File managers do not provide `file-manager-store-link' but they should as it would be very useful to have programs integrate with each other that hyperdocument systems can be built. > > Org headings can be or could be marked with later action on > > the whole collection of headings: > > See bulk commands in agenda (Bulk remote editing selected entries): > https://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-Commands.html > > Manually picking headlines to put into agenda is not currently possible > in org-mode, but one can volunteer to do it.
