How can I reference a section by number in org-mode export?

Question

I\'m working in org-mode and trying to generate a link to reference a section by its number, not its title.

* Section One
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:one
:END:
         


        

Answer 1

You can refer to sections by name:

* Section One

* Section Two

* Links
  This is a number link: [[Section One]]
  This is a textual link: [[Section One][Some text for the link]]

Here's the LaTeX output:

\section{Section One}
\label{sec:orgheadline1}

\section{Section Two}
\label{sec:orgheadline2}

\section{Links}
\label{sec:orgheadline3}
This is a number link: \ref{sec:orgheadline1}
This is a textual link: \hyperref[sec:orgheadline1]{Some text for the link}
