It is not possible to strip coderefs when tangling and also search for those coderefs using org-link-search. This is because org-link-search uses org-src-coderef-regexp which calls regexp-quote on the regexp string while org-babel-tangle-single-block does not and uses the regexp string directly without quoting it. I'm not sure about the best way to fix this. It seems to me that the call to regexp-quote should be removed but I'm not entirely sure of the consequences of doing that. Thoughts? Best, Tom
PS While on the topic of coderefs, let me drop a note that is a preview of some of the issues I have encountered while working on a full formal grammar for org. Having the -l switch control this is an awful design that induces more complexity into the org-mode grammar than nearly any other feature. Source block switches are completely inconsistent with the rest of org and completely undiscoverable. I had no idea they even existed until I was trying to figure out which header argument could be used to set the coderef regexp. The -l option and switches in general need to have their behavior implemented as part of the standard header arguments like everything else so that users can migrate away from switches with an eye toward removing them entirely.
