Hi, I can take a look at that. Unless Nicolas already is working on it, of course.
One additional point is, of course, that org-depend is not part of the core, but was written as a proof of concept. Is anyone besides Karl using it regularly? I don't want to break anything by changing it. Maybe it would, in fact, be better to first look in the local file and then try org-id-find.
