[O] [RFC][PATCH] Store links to named elements

[Jacob Gerlach]

In [1], storing links to named elements was discussed. AFAICT, no
patches came from that discussion. The current behavior is that given:

* Headline

#+Name: foo

org-store-link will store a link to `*Headline' rather than `foo'.

Attached is a very rough first attempt at patching org-store-link to
recognize and link to the name.

Is this approach worth fleshing out or are there problems associated
with this type of link? Using the above example, [[foo]] seems to be a
valid link, recognized by both export and org-open-at-point.

If doable, a couple of specific questions:
This attached patch makes no attempt to store the file name as
currently done for headlines. Would it be better to check for a name
in the headline linking code (the final "t" in the org-mode-p `cond'
in org-store-link) or rather reproduce file name code separately.

Does a context string make sense for links to element names?

Regards,
Jake
