If you store a link with org-store-link, org-insert-link will present it above the link types. However, there's no mechanism to complete recently created headlines, if that's what you're asking (org-mode doesn't actually have enough information to implement such a feature). > idk if i still ahve the wrong end of the stick or not, but it's what i > was thikinig it was supposed to do and what i hope org can do. > > now i do id and RET and after minutes i get headings [as dirs in ido]. > too slow for me, but i can get the appeal for those for whom it is > not -- lots of links to choose from or so, right? I'd either: 1. Set org-refile-use-cache to t to cache refile (and headline completion) targets. 2. Customize org-id-completion-targets to limit which files/headlines should be considered as potential link targets.
