The "fig" part is only useful imo, for prefix text, eg. If I write "see \cref{fig:SED-HR4049}" in text, it will get exported in LaTeX as something like "see Figure 1", where the cleveref package inferred that the Figure prefix should go in front of the number. Otherwise, "see \ref{fig:SED-HR4049}" would just export to "see 1", which is not what you want to see. You can manually add prefix text of course, like "see Figure \ref{fig:SED-HR4049}". However, if I am in a long document (like a book), I may want to refer to a page number, e.g. "See pg. \pageref{fig:SED-HR4049}" to indicate to the reader where to find some information. In this case the fig prefix of the label is not important. With sections, you may want \ref{sec-intro} to get the number of the section, or \nameref{sec-intro} to get the name of the section. Both cases use the same label. > > #+CAPTION: This is the caption for the next figure link (or table) > #+NAME: fig:SED-HR4049 > > [[./img/a.jpg]] > > Or some other metadata on the target? I don't think metadata on the target helps with the cases described above, you can reference a label in different ways at different times to get different meanings. > > Bruce > > https://orgmode.org/manual/Images.html > https://orgmode.org/manual/Internal-Links.html -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu Pronouns: he/him/his
