I avoid writing such complex documents for the moment. :)

[Some custom functions]

Sorry. The code is meant as an inspiration, not to be used out-of-the
box. I never tested the functions outside my highly adjusted default
configuration.

As I read in another post you seem to be a helm user. Therefore it
might be a better idea to use helm helper functions. I assume, helm
has also some function to jump around in Org files, with headings as
targets. If you find such a function, try to copy and adapt (as I did
with the similar `counsel-outline' function): I assume such a function
will use some helper function to collect the candidates for completion
and after the user selected a candidate there is code to jump to the
selected destination. Just try to change this part so that instead of
jumping, a link is inserted at the proper place (that's the part my
function `sn/org-insert-internal-link-action' is responsible for).

Maybe someone with more knowledge about helm might help you with a
complete solution.
