Hello,

I use org-mode a lot like a wiki so links to other org-mode headings are
very common. Currently, I navigate to the heading or pull it up in an
agenda view, store the link with C-l, going back to where I want to
insert the link, then insert the link with C-c C-l RET. This is a bit
time consuming.

Instead, I would prefer to map a key that allows me to insert a link at
the current point using tab completion similar to org-refile (C-c C-w).
Looking through org-id.el, it seems like org-id-get-with-outline-path
completion was designed for this purpose. I tried:

(global-set-key "\C-ci" (lambda () (interactive) (org-id-get-with
outline-path-completion)))

but it didn't work as intended. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

For reference, I have the following set in my configuration:

;; Use global IDs
(require 'org-id)
(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t)

;; Update ID file .org-id-locations on startup
(org-id-update-id-locations)

;; Targets include this file and any file contributing to the agenda -
up to 9 levels deep
(setq org-refile-targets (quote ((nil :maxlevel . 9)
                                 (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 9))))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps t)
(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes t)
