But if the link is a unique ID link, which is the recommended linking method these days, it could "just work", no? Context: I would like to stop using `org-edit-special' for non-trivial tasks and start detangling instead, as the former makes Emacs much less powerful. Emacs Lisp cannot navigate to functions, Eglot does not work at all, and so on. Tangle comments, as implemented today, are much too noisy for me, let alone others. Ihor mentioned some clever algorithm that can detangle intelligently: https://leo-editor.github.io/leo-editor/appendices.html#the-mulder-ream-update-algorithm Perhaps that is the way forward? P.S. It would be also useful to be able to tangle into the attachment directory. As far as I know, the current tangling mechanism cannot do that. This is unrelated, but worth mentioning if we are rewriting for the future. Rudy -- "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives.
