Re: [O] Proposal: references from code to text.

i'm not sure if i understand the goal.  is it babel-only?

this email might be off-topic.

what i want is links, using something like org-id,

  - from non-org [for example, a link in file.el in a comment]
  - to non-org [for example, a named or id'ed location in the same file]
  - or to org [e.g. an org-id'ed org entry, or a named or id'ed
location in a babel block]

that can be, if needed, effectively, bidirectional.  thus, you could
document a function in file.el using a subtree in main.org and bounce
between the function and the documentation because there is a link for
each.

non-org [e.g. file.el] can be an original file [i.e. no babel
anywhere] or the result of tangling from babel.

i find that org-link-minor-mode is /highly/ useful for the non-org
part of this, but it doesn't support all of the above functionality
automatically.

i'd want a general package that is like org-link-minor-mode, but takes
care of supporting the user by creating good ids and links as needed.
