Re: [Orgmode] bug in org-store-link

[Scott Otterson]

Yes, starting with line numbers sounds like a good idea.  So far, then, the suggestion in its full glory is:  link storage  include punctuation in matching pattern  expand matching pattern outwards until matching uniqueness is assured across the whole file store  line number link search start at stored line number expand outwards until an exact match is found (update stored line number if match has moved?) if no exact match is found, scan the whole buffer for the best soft match  eg. minimum Levenshtein distance (update stored line number and pattern if match has moved?  Better ask the user.)

If the pattern is found there, done; if not, search around that point for the pattern and keep expanding the area of the search until found. I don't know if they still do it that way but I think that's how it was done some time ago. Nick
