Why is the link text set to "1" in both cases?

Thanks for the pointer. I tried to see the effect of that variable,
but I noticed that for latex export, a \ref{orgsrcblock1} tag is
created, although the listing in the exported latex code does not
provide a "target" to link to at all. This is probably unrelated to
my original problem, but keeps me from understanding how the mechanism
around `org-latex-prefer-user-labels` works. (maybe related:

I was more thinking along the lines of treating internal links to
named blocks in the same way that external links in HTML export are
treated:
For [[http://some/url]], the link text is simply set to the target,
the target being the external web page.
For [[some_named_block]] the link text should then also be the name of
the target, in that case the target being the source block.
I tried to debug what happens during html export, and traced the link
resolution to `org-html-link`, with the link type being "fuzzy".
Then, it correctly identifies the link target(via
`org-export-resolve-fuzzy-link`), but for some reason seems to do some
form of generic numbering for the link text.
I would probably add a case for (org-element-type destination) being
"src-block", and then use the :name property of the link destination
as link text. Does that route make sense?
Regards,
timor
