Indeed, I read the posts on the archive.  If we have a mechanism by
which each note/node has a URI it is possible to draw graphs.

I may have forgotten to add, we do draw graphs of each node using
graphviz library in SVG and show it in browser.  The graph file is
generated and its link provided in the org buffer.

Isn't adding an ID marker same as creating node with properties.  It
will be nice to make it as readable as possible using text, and also
make the network navigable for human beings.

Which algo did you use for generating unique IDs?
