That is expected behavior. Org can only detangle the content of source blocks. It can't deduce how that source code got in there. Maybe this example says it better: #+begin_src sh sh :tangle hw.sh :var x=(random) :shebang #!/bin/sh :comments link echo $x #+end_src Tangles to #!/bin/sh # [[file:~/tmp/test.org::org_gcr_2018-10-04T08-35-43-05-00_cosmicality_CCEACAA2-A6B3-4FDD-9259-7F633316F0CE][org_gcr_2018-10-04T08-35-43-05-00_cosmicality_CCEACAA2-A6B3-4FDD-9259-7F633316F0CE]] x='422131055910453451' echo $x # org_gcr_2018-10-04T08-35-43-05-00_cosmicality_CCEACAA2-A6B3-4FDD-9259-7F633316F0CE ends here
