I think the function is the best option, as the logic of whether to store ids (based on the value of org-id-link-to-org-use-id) is hard-coded into org-store-link and can't be changed through arguments. You could always create a custom function and bind it to 'C-c l' in org-mode: (defun my-org-store-org-link (arg) "Store a link org mode. When there is a prefix arg, use file+headline format" (interactive "P") (let ((org-id-link-to-org-use-id (not arg))) (org-store-link nil t))) Best, Matt
