I misunderstood the context of the request. I think it would by helpful to mention such context (i.e., work on the OpenOffice exporter) in the original post. FWIW, the following commenting syntax correctly inserts an invisible target in the html: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Heading # <<<atarget>>> ** Subheading atarget --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- exports as... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- <div id="outline-container-1" class="outline-2"> <h2 id="sec-1"><a name="atarget" id="atarget"></a><span class="section-number-2">1</span> Heading </h2> <div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1"> </div> <div id="outline-container-1_1" class="outline-3"> <h3 id="sec-1_1"><span class="section-number-3">1.1</span> Subheading </h3> <div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1_1"> <p><a href="#sec-1">atarget</a> </p> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Using the COMMENT keyword, by contrast, creates an orphaned link, as you note. > I see two options (that I think are consistent): > 1.

The exported HTML doesn't contain the radioed headline. So > references to radioed text shouldn't be linkified. I vote for #2. I expect org-export to clobber anything with a COMMENT keyword. But if the radio target is clobbered, then words pointing to it should not be "linkified." Note: I'm referring here only to automatic radio targets of the <<<triple-bracket>>> variety. If the user explicitly inserts links such as [[atarget]], they should remain even if the target does not exist.
