Or fourth, or fifth... IMO using the default determin-link-target approach of orgmode does not work well if you want to link to specific parts of a (LaTeX) file: I remember that org-store-link uses the current paragraph as the link target and that does not work well if the so created target is a word that appears more than once in your text (as it is in your case) or a whole paragraph, that *may* get changed slightly with the result, that orgmode wouldn't find the target to jump to. > Or should I have been dropping an anchor into the latex file somehow, > figuring that the link to "Summary" was just going to behave badly? I solved the problem exactly in this way: I hacked down my very own function that inserts a LaTeX macro with an uuid and stored a link to this uuid. I used it to mark open questions/paragraphs/todos in my master thesis -- with the desired effect, that I had an orgmode todo list that showed the things I had to to. Merely the elisp function got lost somehow so I cannot provide it at the moment. I'll see if I can recreate the function during my next hacking hours.
