But he's also asking for "reciprocal links" (bi-directional, I take it). This doesn't exist that I know of, though strangely it *just* came up last week, though for refiling and creating a bi-directional link. Pretty much the same idea. Send something new or existing to a new location and have a two way link in both places. -- http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg51480.html John > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Russell Adams rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com > > PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ > > Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3 >
