I am trying to using a link to jump to a number in another org file. Searching for keyword numbers works for internal links but does not when searching in a different file. It works with words but not numbers? Why is this and can it be fixed?
a.org:
abcd or << abcd>> <br>
1234 or even <<1234>>
[[1234]] (works)
b.org:
[[file:./a.org::1234]] (does not work)<br>
[[file:./a.org::abcd]] (works)
[[file:./a.org::1234]]
the number is interpreted as a line number to go to. That was deemed more useful behavior than searching for the literal number. In[[1234]]
there is no choice. – NickD Apr 4 '20 at 2:12
