Request: Helm/org source of headings by ID #13

Closed NathanNeff closed 3 years ago

NathanNeff commented 4 years ago

Org-mode has a cool feature where you can assign a unique ID to a heading. It would be cool to have a helm source which listed all headings which have an ID assigned to them. This is a request.

To implement this, it would be nice to have details on this feature e.g. Is there a predicate telling if a heading have an ID?, which are the related functions in org where I can look at? etc... Perhaps @alphapapa knows that and I am pretty sure he have already implemented this in one of its org packages?

Yes, this is already provided by org-ql and its helm-org-ql command. For example:

M-x helm-org-ql RET property:ID would show all entries with an ID property. The query is well-optimized and cached per-buffer. It would not make sense to re-implement this in helm-org.

If you don't have org-ql installed, you can also list all the headings in a file that contain an ID property by executing the following.

(org-match-sparse-tree nil "ID={.}")

@rdrg109 Nice, thanks.

Closing this issue since we seem to agree there's nothing to be done here.
