AFAIK, this is not required. Support for linking to org headlines is already built in. > [[foo::::*heading inside foo]] This should be something like this: [[file:/path/to/file.org::*<Heading_text>][Description]] > I have to use four ":" to be able to search, instead of the three I would > expect (expecting three since the first ":" is used to declare that I want > to enter a tag and the following two are used inside the tag).

For the regular search, something like this should be sufficient: [[file:/path/to/file.org::<search_phrase>][Description]] > /Gustav Hope this helps. PS: org-mode has amazing info documentation. Please check them out. All of these are well covered there. For tutorials, you can check the community site Worg. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
