thank you. i think the problem needs specifying better than i specified it.
basically, i use org-refile for refile and goto, and i just want
exactly the same thing for inserting links also.
this is close to that other thread, but i want to emphasize that the
goal is specifically to merely use
ah, so org did the remap and i tried to remap the remap?
my brain is not working right now, but i think you might be right. in
either case, your solution works and is straightforward.

presumably org-id is the best solution for keeping track of which
