Re: [O] Function that jumps to an entry with a certain CUSTOM_ID
+1 * Non-technical feedback :: - Thank you so much for sharing. I've been looking for something like this for a while. - I hope it'll make it into org-mode some way or another, it seems like a valuable addition. - imho the HELM integration is essential.

IMO we can't afford maintaining all end-user functions imaginable in org.el. What is possible, however is to extend some existing behaviour. For example, `org-open-at-point' could be a good candidate: with C-u C-u, it could offer to type in a link and open it. So, in order to jump to a custom-id, you can use C-u C-u C-o #my-custom RET Of course, you lose completion, in this case, which is a serious drawback. Another option would be to extend `org-goto' (C-c C-j) and offer to jump to custom-id. But I think I should rather aim at Worg's contrib directory, There's no such thing as Worg contrib directory. There's Worg, OT1H, and a contrib/ directory OTOH, but they are not related. Worg is a good place to share useful code snippets. Regards,

Let me ask the question differently: as all reasonable key bindings are taken (a statement to which I tend to agree), is the suggestion of interactive functions to be added to the core of org-mode no longer appropriate? I.e. should I contribute them to Worg (with which I still need to familiarise myself) rather than suggesting them here? Or, asking about a middle course, what's the role of org's contrib directory? (Is it even suitable for something that is not a complete plugin of its own right, but rather just a single function?) C-c j is not an option since it is reserved to users. Sorry, this was unfortunate in my initial post. I didn't intend to hard-code this as the default key binding, but it was rather meant to be read as if you like this function, you could bind it, for example, to Note that you can use (let ((h (org-find-property CUSTOM_ID custom-id))) (when h (goto-char h))) instead of (org-link-search ...) for one less level of indirection. Thanks - makes sense. However probably not if I write a tutorial in the style of if you want to do something, then copy the following lines to your. emacs. But I think I should rather aim at Worg's contrib directory, with a short elisp file containing my function, plus a short HTML file explaining that there exists an elisp file containing a function that does a few words about the functionality - does this make sense?
