I don't think such a system would preserve properties offered by `org-export-get-reference', for example in non-latin languages. Also, header content is not stable enough: when you're linking to the custom ID, you may be able to change the title and yet preserve the link. However, your proposal may be an improvement over `org-export-get-reference' in the context of "ox-html.el", that I don't know. That's the second way I wrote about. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
