Some thoughts/issues: - not sure about the name but that's just æsthetics... - can I link to a transcluded headline? i.e. [[#localheadline]] - what about more than level of indirection: link to a trancluded headline which transcludes to another etc. What is shown? Is there a performance hit? - definitely not sure about the name... ;-) - what happens if the destination moves or gets deleted? the link to it, which looked like something "complete" is now meaningless. This could be quite confusing. This is probably the most serious issue. - the table aspect is almost a "view" on a database which is really appealing but would benefit from a fully defined syntax a la sql? Would table formulas work as expected from the view of the contents? - maybe view: as the link type? - could we have "read-only" views? I may not want the original touched. - how does an export work? On the view or the actual contents? That's it for the moment based on stream of consciousness thinking! -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 26.0.50.1, Org release_9.0.1-49-ga43eac
