Kim's patch looks good to me, even though it breaks something with the header line, and shouldn't be applied in its current state. A better option might be to keep this links line in the buffer, but put it at the extreme bottom of the buffer. This way, it's always available if one wants to copy it, and it does not interfere with the existing header line. And it provides a way to navigate through the nodes when you're at the bottom of the buffer, without having to use the header line.
