I'll have to try your method; it looks good. For many years I've made do
with:

   a) Putting notes in separate files, so that gf provides the link.
   
   b) Using folding, so that section headings become the TOC when the
      file is folded. (My 300 page unix survival notes fold to 3 pages
      of TOC.)

   c) I did try some simple strings of unique text, so that * would jump
      to the intra-file "link", but there are only 2 in 300 pages.

   d) For "linking" of disparate occurrences of related material, I just
      use capitalised keywords. (Often out of the way on the RHS.) Then,
      again, * flits between conceptually related paragraphs, until I
      bump into the one which I need.

I had considered using a couple of lines of awk to generate a tags file,
according to some convenient rules, but maybe helptags will suffice.
