Re: ol-plo.el --- Orgmode Link type for navigating Ordered Plain Lists

[Samuel Wales]

one option is to name your targets with <<my-target>>.  i think, but
have not tested, that these will disappear upon export, but they might
or might not be annoying to you in the org buffer.  you can get to
them with [[my-target]] which can export to list number or so.
