Hi Bruce/John,

Thanks for getting back to me. So I guess your notes file would look something like this?


#+TITLE: Bradley, J. (1973): Essential Mathematics For Economists

* Dynamic models: the consumption function
[[cite:bradley1973es][p164]]

* Changes in Capital Stock
[[cite:bradley1973es][p188]]

* The Accelerator-Multiplier Model
[[cite:bradley1973es][p200]]


So when when it comes time to author your paper, if you run org-store-link on any of these, the description gets stripped off the link, so that only cite:bradley1973es is stored (which obviously defeats the purpose). And if you copy the link over by hand, it maps back to the document bradley197es.org <http://bradley197es.org/> (not the actual note).

Am I missing anything?

Adam
