I'm having trouble using a remote reference in an Org-mode spreadsheet.
The Info node entitled "References" says that the first argument to the
"remote()" expression "... can also be the ID of an entry, even in a
different file, ...". What does this mean? What is the syntax for defining
and referring to an "ID"?
I tried making a file called "report.org" like this:
* report output
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: foo
:END:
| abcde | 17 |
| xyzzy | 42 |
And then I tried to refer to it from an Org-mode spreadsheet in a different
file, like this:
#+TBLFM: @2$1=remote(file:report.org#foo, @2$2)
But it said "invalid reference".

Finally found Carsten's answer (1) to this same question from four years
ago. Don't know why I missed it while searching the archives yesterday.
Still, I've fumbled around for a while trying to understand how to get the
org-id module turned on, and how to write the syntax in the "remote()"
formula. (No syntax at all, it turns out. Just the ID value itself.)
