Example 1: You have top-level property drawer in a file: :PROPERTIES: :ID: file-id :END: Then, you can refer to headings in the file as [[id:file-id::heading-id]] instead of [[file:/path/to/file/that/may/change::heading-id]]. Example 2: You have a subtree with only the topmost heading with ID. You do not want to pollute child headings with PROPERTIES drawer, but you cannot reference them using [[*heading]] links either because the child heading titles are not unique. Then, you can do [[id:parent-id::*child title]] to refer to a child. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
