Here's one implementation:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-dblock-write:insert-links (params)
"Dblock function to insert links to headlines that match
tags/properties search string specified by :match."
(let ((match (plist-get params :match))
links)
(unless match
(error "Must specify :match parameter"))
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(let ((heading (nth 4 (org-heading-components))))
(add-to-list 'links
(format "- [[file:%s::*%s][%s]]\n"
(abbreviate-file-name
(buffer-file-name))
heading heading))))
match 'agenda)
(apply #'insert links)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You could then create a dblock by typing C-c C-c on the following
#+begin: insert-links :match questions
#+end:
This would still need to be refined, as there are problems when a
headline contains a link, but it's meant to provide a quick proof of
concept.
Best,
