A great suggestion. I wasn't aware of the feature, and renaming safety is a great benefit while also solving my space problem. I don't suppose there's a trick to automatically update descriptions for links whose target has been renamed? When exploring this, I found the function org-id-store-link. This seemed like what I wanted - it creates a custom ID if one doesn't exist, but it doesn't actually store a link (or at least, it wasn't available when I then ran org-insert-link). The docstring is pretty light, but it seems like this might be a bug. Is this the expected behavior? Thanks for the pointer in any case. Regards, Jake
