Hi Christian, thank you very much for your comments.

Indeed, the decision to reverse the order of the link appearance may
seem somewhat shocking :-) I did it like this to keep a syntactic
structure similar to the reledmac command \edtext, when the user (the
reledmac user) views the links full displayed. In LaTeX/reledmac the
structure is:

...some text... \edtext{annotated passage}{critical notes} ...some text...

The annotated passage is part of the text and is also the "lemma" in the
critical note.

In org-critical-edition I define a new link type called `edtext', using
`org-link-set-parameters', and the identifying string (`edtext:') must be
placed in the target part.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
