From [2]:
Thus, in "jones-interview.org" you might have this:
Blah blah blah and then she said that the rockets had reached
speeds
of .3c in testing scenarios on a few occasions. [ref:1c3a90a9]
Is it intended to be [ref:1c3a90a9] or is it supposed to be
[[ref:1c3a90a9]] (i.e., a regular link without description)?
The former: [ref:1c3a90a9]
oref.el isn't specific to Org Mode -- it's for use with any
text-based format. In fact, our company's typical usage involves
references that cross between text files of different formats:
e.g., LaTeX <--> Markdown, Org <--> DocBook Lite XML, etc.
Now, "[[ref:1c3a90a9]]" contains "[ref:1c3a90a9]" of course, so in
an Org Mode file one could format oref origin links as regular Org
Mode links without descriptions. But personally I find that I'm
never doing that -- I just put "[ref:1c3a90a9]".
On a related note, how are the references exported?
There is no provision for exporting. That's an Org Mode concept,
but not an oref.el concept.
