Maybe also without Org UUIDs, as many people do not use it. It is my special case that each heading must have its ID, and I use some extra functions to create it while saving the file. In general, every application shall have backlink creation function. Or if application does not have it, it shall allow others to create such. For example maybe you could make simple function that works in any text file with the region marked. It would then remember the line, and region marked, and produce backlink. Link is used in Hyperbola to quickly find the exact place. It is similar to regexp search in file. But with line number included, as there can be various other same pieces of text. PDF readers shall have simple backlink, but they do not have. One need to figure out how to make a link, this make it harder for users. All that is not much effort, but still we have not get the collective IQ today, we have some kind of huge library without order, which is Internet. Books cannot be replaced by Internet, they are still more valuable. Jean
