I haven't posted most of my related ideas yet, but I proposed
something similar (a prerequisite for it) called ID markers, in
http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg11845.html .  I
still need to reply to the replies, and will do so at some point.  I
also need to motivate one of the goals,for ID markers, which is
graph-theoretic graphs (in particular robust bidirectional links) for
personal use.

You can have any place (which can be loosely defined) be a node
(including being a source and a target of arcs) merely by putting an
ID marker there.  This frees you from needing nodes to be entries with
properties.

Don't know if you can use them or not.

I do hope that whatever ideas you implement can be put into contrib or
the core as general-purpose facilities for org.
