Hi Marvin,

Did you ever find a way to do this?  I've always been interested in a
two-way org-freemind converter, if anyone ever makes one.  I don't know
if either program supports enough features of the other to make a
one-to-one conversion possible.

Did you try using regular org-mode links, either in the headings or in
the node contents?  Theoretically it would be possible to make it work
with org-ids, but I don't know if the exporter has support for that.

Of course, working with freemind files means working with XML, so it's
not exactly a fun project...
