Re: [PATCH] org-id-goto doesn't work if buffer is narrowed.

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

It has always bugged me when clicking on an id link does not put the
point on the headline when narrowing is in place. Opening in a new
buffer might  be a nice compromise of preserving the restriction in
place, and getting to the point of interest. I think these are called
indirect buffers
(http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Indirect-Buffers.html).
