Indeed, this is a variation of what Leo suggested and customizing org-id-link-to-org-use-id is almost working for me... Unfortunately, I want the links to export to latex using latex \ref{}'s and section labels. A link stored with a custom id has to have a description to have a reasonably readable org buffer, but links with descriptions are exported using the headline text instead of the section number. Is there a workaround for this? On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 4:50 PM, Jacob Gerlach <jacobgerl...@gmail.com> wrote: > When exploring this, I found the function org-id-store-link.

After perusing the source code further, I think that my confusion about org-id-store-link arose because this function isn't intended to be called on it's own (it's called by org-store-link when appropriate based on the value of org-id-link-to-org-use-id). I've seen a double hyphen in function names to sometimes indicate internal functions. Would this function be more appropriately named org-id--store-link or am I misunderstanding the convention?
