The idea is to add a new protocol that looks like

Org heading in Emacs. The implementation is really simple:
It may be convenient in some cases. I prefer custom_id properties
however since it provides some hint what is the link target. I am
unsure, but maybe if you post complete recipe for customization and a
bit more verbose description of use cases, more people will try it and
will suggest possible improvements. In my opinion, currently conscious
choices require more effort that actual code.

ARG is a property list."

- It seems `org-id-goto' does not call `org-mark-ring-push' (unlike
`org-id-open' that is non-interactive). As a result it is impossible tu
jump back using C-&.
- Should that heading be opened in current window or in other one?
- Likely other variants of specifying targets will be requested soon. Is
it necessary to support file+custom_id, file+heading text, file+line
number? If so, files should be filtered somehow to prevent security
issues when attempt of opening of specific file (executable, image,
etc.) can cause unexpected actions.
- Maybe even subprotocol name is not the best one.
